Climbing Mt. Christoffel

This is the highest point on all of Curacao at 1239 feet (377 meters) at the very top.  In order to do this and not die of heat or sweat to death (at least for me), it means getting up before the sun - 5:00 am and meeting your friends at 5:30 am to drive to the mountain.  The Christoffel Park open at 6:00 am on Sundays.

We (Judith, Liz and I) arrived around and drove up into the park to the start of the trail. We started off around 7:00 am. I thought it was more hiking, but it turned out to be a bunch of climbing as well. Well Judith was right, the view was worth it at the top.  :)

Climbing down took a lot of concentration and work to place your feet without sliding down.  In the end, I am glad I did it, but once is enough for me. :)  Still I can't let it keep me from Jillian's 30 Day Shred: Day 3 which I will get to after the heat of the afternoon dies down.
