Your brother is lucky to live so close to such beautiful place. I'm sorry to hear that you had issues with mosquitoes. When I was learning for my last exams at the university it was so hot that we left the window open and the lights on. I didn't sleep all night and I was beaten everywhere. It was horrible.
And that scorpion.. I'm glad it didn't hurt you :)
It looks like it was a challenging ascend and descend but you luckily managed and could enjoy beautiful landscape surrounding us. You must have been very thirsty when you drank all your water half way up :)
I prefer hiking when it's not that hot as I get tired very quickly when the sun is burning but I think that people who live in warm countries have difference tolerance level :)
Thank you for taking us with you on your hike :) It's been my pleasure to join you!
Have a great weekend!
