A friend on facebook was sharing this and my heart literally plunged. Even when I read it again now, I still feel so scared because even though I didn't felt it then, I was so close to death. Not just this once, but there was also another close-to-death experience which we are so lucky to have survived. I think like what the article said, many people really underestimated the dangers of Trolltunga. We were not in any proper hiking gear (the experienced ones all brought hiking sticks (?) wore proper gear and stuffs) and all we had were hiking boots at the very least (which I'm so glad we got). Trolltunga became a super popular hiking destination 'cause of the spread on social media by people who did incredible stunts near the edge.
For one, I'm thankful I wasn't as crazy to want to do stunts. For seconds, I'm thankful I kinda know my limits and I really only went as far as I deemed safe for myself, and where I can still feel in touch with the ground.
That's literally the furthest I went, tiny me. Omg good job PJ for being scaredy cat in times like these. I cannot imagine how I will feel if I ..... *TOUCH WOOD*
To always be careful, even in the midst of fun and adventure.
