Golden Camp - recapitulation

On the last day, having only half a day for some activity (the rest reserved for the drive home), we followed Pani Przewodniczka (Lady Guide) to the launch pad on Mount Seven. Here we befriended a Bulgarian (!) paraglider, Branko, who kindly agreed that we take a few photos with him.

I consider this a blistering victory against the universal forces of entropy that usually govern our mornings. We were basically astronauts.
