Days 5-7 - The final stretch!

Hello everyone - It's Sunday morning and I have been back in the UK for 24 hours.

We had internet issues during the last couple of days therefore I couldn't keep you all updated.

So I will summarise the last two days for you

Wednesday Day 5 - Pre Breakfast: Walk/jog round the block and step aerobics
Morning - An 8km walk up in the mountains with a bt of resistance train ing thrown in for good measure.
We had lunch out - clear chicken soup and tuna salad - very nice! (no bread though)
abs work out on return. Played Paul at Poker and didn't come off too bad

Thursday Day 6  - No morning jog today - instead a two hour run in the car to Slanic Salina - massive Salt mine - which is a tourist attraction and still a working mine. A 2k drop in a very shakey traditional lift shaft which opened up into an amazing 208m high collection of caverns, which also included a football pitch and badminton court - so you can guess what we got upto down there.

Friday Day 7 - Hit the road running in the morning and managed a full 25 minutes without stopping - this included a hill so well chuffed with myself. I even managed two full laps of the circuit training without too much pain. Due to the snow fall (Yes Snow) we headed to a local ski resort to have a look about and went on a cable car from 1400m to 2000m - Of course we had a little mooch about whilst at the top!

After lunch we headed to a gorge (sorry can't remember the name of the place) which also had a small cave to visit. Our guide was a 12 year old village kid - who appeared very professional - and she told a good tale!

Gabi one of my fellow  captures (who has been a bit of sneak at times) managed to side track Lumi and Cami (our instructors) for a bit whilst we tried a bit of the local Plum vodka! - Wow it nearly knocked me off my feet! |the best of it was we didn't get found out as Gabi had a reserve of chewing gum to cover up!

We had a good 6k ramble up the gorge and back beore heading back to camp for our last supper of Steak, potatoes and veg - followed by a lovely natural yogurt with a touch of local honey!

Early night all round as we had a 5am start the following morning to get me back to the airport. and weigh and measure in.

Total - lost 5LB - gained plenty of muscle and lost 12cm off my waist - so so i'll hopefully be on a size 12 shopping trip next week!
