3000m above....

We had taken another trip to the National Park here in Taiwan during this summer holiday. It was a camping trip, 5d4n. The longest camping trip ever and one of the camp site had no electricity supply.

We had traveled to the highest road in Taiwan. During the trip, I had climbed the 2 peaks of the He Huan Mountain. Both of them were above 3000m. The air was so thin and I had to rest on every few steps.

The 1^st peak was a challenging one as we need to climbs stairs like road to ascend to the top. All of us made it to the tops…. Our 1^st experience of climbing mountain of more than 3000m. It was a special experience for everyone of us; the climb was complicated by the thin air above 3000m. We had to stop every few steps to gasp for air. I had seen many film regarding mountain climbing and I finally realized the feeling of shortness of breath on every steps…..

The next day, I climbed the 2^nd peak alone due to the rain; Ving and kids waited me in Fefe. I donned the rain coat and ascend to the peak , praising the LORD all the way up. During the ascend, I was so afraid that I suffered from a heart attack but still with the grace of LORD, I made it….

Each of us learns something from the trip. I am truly happy as I could take my children to experience something which couldn’t be bought by money – although money is still a must for these trips…..I am glad I am still energetic enough to take them up to the top….
