VLOG | weekend in Mallorca

A few weeks ago two friends and I spontaneously booked a trip to Mallorca with the intention to try deep sea climbing. While I'm not the strongest climber (I've plateaued 😞) I'm always up for a little adventure!

Daniel and Pablo left almost a week before me to fit in as many climbs as possible and I joined the last 3 days. One would think, after hearing so many stories about how wonderful Mallorca is, we'd be basking in the sun in 22 degree temperatures but sadly it was mostly grey skies and a bit of rain here and there the whole weekend.

Also tip, if you ever were to go to places like Spain, Itlay, or Portugal in the autumn months, bring warm clothes for the apartments! They're build to stay cool during the summer but goddamn, we were freezing our butts off in the evening.

We still had a lot of fun though. The landscape there was something I've never seen nor experienced before. There was a lot of hiking to make up for the lack of climbing (for me at least) and we even managed to brave the cold waters and go for a quick swim the second day at Cala Santanyí. 

If we were to go again next year I'm going to try to train a little bit more before the trip. We're also considering bringing our bikes along to cycle around the island. Now that'd be an amazing trip.

TRAVEL | dresden + hrensko

Roman and I decided to take a trip back in early September. Roman proposed a hiking up { Pravčická brána } in Czech Republic and {Sächsische Schweiz} in Germany, so we kind of planned our short holiday around those hikes. On the first day we stopped in Dresden to explore the city.

We arrived late in the afternoon so there wasn't much sunlight left in the day for us to explore. All I remember is that I made the terrible call of finding food after we go sightseeing even though I was starving so those first couple hours were kind of a blur. When we eventually went for dinner we found a { great little place } next to our hostel that served amazing pulled pork sandwiches.

We arrived in Hrensko on day two. The motobike ride was really short--only about an hour and a half--so we still had a lot of energy for hike number 1. Our first trail, Pravčická brána, was only supposed to be 14-16km. But due to our lack of knowledge one of the trails leading back to our village closed at 6pm (we arrived at 6:10pm) which led us take the longest detour ever back to our hotel.

There are a few android photos here from Roman's phone since I didn't want to lug my canon around during our climbs. And with what happened during day 1, I'm so glad that I didn't haha.
