Hiking

Hiking is one of my favorite outdoor activities. I have been several experiences in Australia so far. One of experiences was in 2007 and it made me have a deep impression.

I remembered that one time I went hiking with an experienced friend in the Grampians in VictoriaI. I was very slow and tired at the beginning because I did not get enough sleeping last night. The weather was not nice but drizzly and cold, so it made my hiking more difficult than I thought. As my friend is used to doing all outdoor activities; especially, hiking is a piece of cake for him because it is part of his job. I was a bit angry at myself  for the first some minutes, and my friend found out I was like a turtle far away from him. He was nice to stop and wait for me. After catching him up, we sat down and had breakfast for few minutes at stairs. I told him that I stayed here to wait for him back with a angry tone. To be honest, I did not believe I could go on the top of  the mountain at that time; however, I made it at last.  I was glad my friend did not give me up. If he had gave me up, I would not seen this such spectacular view, and would not had an amazing experience.

Hiking is more like a challenge to me because it competes with not only your physical but your mental. If you think your life is like going hiking, it will not be disappointed you for it is always full of surprises and adventures. During this journey you could  sometimes meet some good companies, but sometime you could not. The most interesting is that you will never ever know what is happening next in your life. I have to say that  although I do not like it sometimes and do not have many choices, I still have to try to accept and overcome it. If you enjoy it, it is even better.
