Glad you finally accomplished your goal although you certainly learned quite a bit from your efforts! And luckily for you passing a black cat is good luck! In some cultures, especially anytime near the number 13 it would be very bad luck (some in America would be very upset!).
Kathy, thanks for dropping by and a good word!
Those superstitions are the same here in Europe. But I believe just the opposite and always use them to my advantage, and all cats bring me good luck no matter what their colour is :)
Cheers,
Kamil
No, according to me it's not a stupid approach that you did. Very likely I would have behaved in the same way. And I fully agree with you that it's not fair that real hikers have hugely limited opportunities because of the people who "climb" with gondola. Likely for many of these people visiting the peak means not more than e.g. visiting an aquarium in a see-side resort or any other holiday program.

Szani, thanks for your voice! Yeah, who cares about walkers as they don't bring income to the Park authorities. So we've got to take care of ourselves, as I did :)
cheers
