Conquering Mount Batur . Our selfs , our fears , and each others heart.
During our trip in Bali Indonesia together . We had the most amazing experience. We planned to have a cooking class together. Which would be great i am sure.
Instead we went on an amazing and adventurous journey together.
We went on a nightly mountain hike.
Battling our way up , with no preparation, 2 hours of sleep , a few flashlights and pretty much no visibility. And seriously doubting what we signed up for.
The first third of the climb was on good road , meaning tarmac, but oh so steep and long.
I saw many people struggling already. 
the first part , my heartrate increased as well. but shortly after my heart found it's sport mode again , after years of being quit (sporting) , and having not much exercise.
After this i could bearly get tired any more. And i could use full focus to support and guide my wife.
After a while she also reached her 2th breath. She listened to her body well , and took breaks when needed. We reached the first top.
Mount Batur has 2 tops. Some people decided this was good enough . But we wanted more.
Going for the real top
My wife by now , refusing hands to pull her up and finding her own way.
And pushing herself more and more. And I , getting more and more amazed, by her and myself , and getting more confident with the both of us.
After reaching the top , we were surprised and awed by the amazing sunrise. The view that we all started this journey for. Us , a few 100 others , and our other 3 person's that were part of our trekking group, accompanied, by an amazing guide, that was very knowledgeable, and brought the right humor at the right times.
(While most people are grasping for oxygen takes someones guitar, and starts signing 🎶 When your legs don't work like they used to before 🎶
Those things can help you through the harder moments.
I will do a full report of this hike including a lot more photo's and videos. Stay tuned !
