I nearly missed seeing Mt Vodno. Lucky I didn't. Best to hike it in order to get some exercise. Better than waiting for the #25 bus to take you up to the Millennium Cross Cable Car.
I decided to walk to the cable car and then further up to the top. If you have legs then avoid the cable car.
I followed up a local who knew the direction from the cable car to the top. He was hammering the pace and dropped me. Once on the trail it was easy to find your own direction.
There are many trails but I think the local took me on one of the more difficult ones (steep). They are all easy as long as you are not rushing...which I was.
On the way down I took one of the easier routes.
Vodno is a great place to hang out as the weather was much cooler. However, I was drenched in sweat as I tried to keep pace with the local. I eased off once I was dropped. I haven't reached 175bpm for an hour or so, throughout my holidays. Great to get some exercise in.
It motivates me to get back on the bicycle when I get home. I am so motivated! I have been missing this for so long. Nothing like jumping straight back into it. There is no turning back when I go hiking.
The hotel where I am staying was faffing around with the room preparation. I had dropped my bags off at the hotel at 9:00am (luggage storage). After my hike the room was not ready at 1:30pm. Went for a stroll and went to check-in at 3:00pm...still not ready!
They gave me a cappuccino as I waited...I am patient. By 3:30pm I was in my room ready ready for a much needed shower.
This hotel is around 200m from my previous apartment stay. I prefer being slightly away from the dead centre of Macedonia Square as ot would be quiter. The viw from the hotel is...a view of the Marriott Hotel and the avenvue of the square. Ear plugs are a must!
