Yep, there's always a starting point for everything and mine was on Tenerife. Hangover after too much partying I felt I had to get out of the drinking ghettos in Play de Los Americas. I aimed high. As high as one can get on Tenerife.
Teide. That slog almost killed me. Well, it felt like that that day. Dehydrated, splitting headache, nausea etc. The views and the triumph felt reaching the summit was great though and I was sure a new interest was born. More mountains followed...
So what's the bottom line?
That excessive drinking can result in something good?
Congrats Emmie.
