Benalmádena, Spain - a Hike and a sweat breaking Cable Car Ride (ENG)

Hola Hives!

I am sharing another work trip side story with you all. I hope you will enjoy it. This time, I went hiking with my dear colleague and friend Asad. He is a fearless hero.

First, this place is full of talented gardeners! Anything that grows green seems to be planted, placed, designed. There was hardly any rain recently, nature was stuck in an earthy cage.

I was unprepared for this. I had not checked into my vertigo state of feelings recently. Due to failing memory, I felt comfortable to give it a go. Within seconds on our ride, I completely broke sweat. Water was running down my face, hands and back. Winds were picking our vessel, whilst we were descending leaps after leaps downwards. The only thing I could think of was to keep my breath normal, I actually wanted to enjoy the view!! Even Asad started to get worried through my fear. The only thing that helped me not to freak out was to hold his hand. This was how tough it was!!

How do you go about this kind of fears?? I know, from thinking, it doesn't make sense to board a vehicle and then to break into sweat from fear of dying on this thing. There are so many elements to this fear, I'd love to hear from someone how I can understand this experience better, where the actual fear is coming from. I have some ideas, but I am unsure.

I liked this poemcito, it was there on the side on the road while ascending.

I try to stop, if someone actually has forged a shield with a poem on it. I do believe they are thorough poems most of the time. Im grateful I took this picture, because today, I am thinking about the future as a puerta. - Y me gusta!

Finally, I wanted to find out how these stone formations come about to stand up like this? Thank you for your time, for sharing. I hope you will have a great week ahead!

soundtrack for this one was this one of Paco de Lucia & Tana & Potito, more recent recording. I hope I won't get into trouble for posting up a youtube link. I hardly see anyone else here do that. Is there a discussion on this topic?
