Mount Kinka Speed-Hiking

Mount Kinka Speed-Hiking
Yesterday I hiked up Mount Kinka in Gifu again. Two weeks ago I hiked up with a friend, but we took our time (went slowly). This time I wanted to try to do it faster.

HIKING LOG:

1:00pm: Finish teaching Bera-Bera class. It was really fun, so I`m in a good mood & motivated to climb Mount Kinka again.

1:10: Chat with my wonderful boss, Akemi:

A: Bye, Otto. Are you going home now?
O: No, I`m going to hike up Mount Kinka
A: Oh, that`s nice.
O: Yes, I went up with a friend 2 weeks ago but we took our time, so I thought, well, I`d like to try it again, but faster, so...

1:30: ...and that`s the reason East Timor is mostly Catholic. Wow - is that the time? I gotta go - Seeya!
A: [sound of snoring]

2:00: Reach foot of Kinka, Nana-Magari (7 tuna???) trail

2:25: Reach the castle at the top. Raise hands, do Rocky impression. Take a photo of the castle. Take a rest.

2:30: That`s enough! Speed-hiking! Come on! Start back down.

2:50: Reach bottom. Try to say "konnichiwa" to an old lady. Sounds like "keeeer-urgh!". Difficult to breathe...

2.55: Think about catching a bus back into town. No! Speed-hiking! Come on!

3:20: Arrive back at Gifu city centre.

I think I can`t do this course any faster without running, and I don`t want to do that.

...well, not alone. If you`re interested in running up Mount Kinka with me, please let me know! Super-speed-hiking! Come on!

Good morning!
It's cold this morning ,too.

Gifu has a lot of snow this winter.
I guess hiking up it was very hard but you could see beautiful scenery.

You are so energetic! Give me some your energy.
By the way,the birds in the picture looks like orange birds that I saw in a bare tree at lunchtime in the government offices district in Nagoya.They were varied tits,weren't they?
