Tsambika Mountain - The Little Mount Everest

I woke up that morning and looked up toward that beauty gently covered by the morning sun.
5 Rhodes 2015. We came to Kolymbia on July 11th. It was not the first time we travelled on that way. Every time it was a different destination and now it was something special. Swimming in the deep blue was something I really enjoyed but my eyes looked at the beauty above me, above the beach. I finally decided. I had to climb up to the top. Why? Simply because I can and because I want. I chose to do it in the late afternoon, at 5 pm Greek time. I took a smaller bottle of water, training shoes and begun the adventure. 7 8 36 The beauty was around 400m high but it felt like it was an endless way up to the top. I started too fast and already during the first part of the hill I begun to feel exhausted. It was very hot outside. I thought that the temperature would be falling at that time but the heat was all around me. 15 10 The sunshine covered both the beauty and me. As I continued upward I noticed that there were no shadows. Not a single one! I had my hat on the head and some water left in the bottle.   Should I give up or not, I thought. It felt too risky but I also felt the strength to continue. I simply wanted to reach the top. I did not feel any weakness in the body besides the tiredness and I have no problem with the health so I kept climbing. On the way up and below the top I met five people doing the same thing as I did but I did not have any contact with them besides saying "hi".

Finally, from the very hot and open area I came to the big rocks at the top and I suddenly got some new and fresh energy because I also could rest some seconds in some shadows.
After some last meters I was there - I simply succeeded  - I reached the top! Wonderful! Great!
I found some flags and I felt like one of the winners!
    As I reached the top I simply took my phone and made some great pictures - yeah the view was simply fantastic. I enjoyed and the feeling was as I called it "Like being on the Little Mount Everest" . 11 12 13 14   I love you Rhodes!
