The simplicity of my day to day.

Altitude
PROMPT July 14th

If you won a free trip to any foreign country, all expenses paid in your own private jet and had the time to go (and there were no travel restrictions due to a global pandemic *Pthb*), what is the first foreign country you would visit? Who would you bring with you? What would you spend your time doing?

There are a couple of places I’d like to go to. On reflection I can now see now they both are at a very high altitude. I really love heights, fresh clean air and solitude.
The first choice would be Bhutan, a Buddhist country. There they measure their Gross Domestic Product in happiness!
The next place is somewhere I saw on a programme on television the other night. It was a railway station on a line that goes on the inside of the north face of the Eiger. What an amazing journey! It would be no good taking my husband, he hates heights. I think I’d be fine on my own actually. When the engineers were digging out the line they needed some place to get rid of all the rocks and soil etc. The presenter of the program was taken to the spot where the rubble was thrown down the mountain. Oh My God, the view from there was amazing. I want to go!
