Four by four off road

-

FOUR days and four countries for us four. We were in a four wheel drive. First, we conquered the mountains. We would only get off of it for picnics along the lake with beautiful sceneries.

We soon took off and headed towards the mountains. Our trusty steed was this four wheel and take us uphill. Off the beaten path, off we were on cable car that brought us up to 3,000 meters above sea level.

Here, we soon head off to the summit. Off the path, I am breathless literally and can't breathe from the high altitude. It just didn't bother me as I am used to it anyway. It was really breathtaki­ng. There were glaciers and some snow capped tops.

While we followed a path, I soon found out a spot where para-gliders would wait before lifting off. Off I went to where they were. Off the path, I stood and waited for some time before one after another and depending on the wind they would run off to fly up high. Lift off is somewhat tricky. I saw one who was off for lift off from the change of wind direction, he however took off still. Another slipped off a stone or root then stumbled off before lifting off. Off the two went.

We soon headed off to Buda and Pest in Hungary. Upon reaching the area, we left our four wheeler while the four of us took off in a sightseein­g bus. It was a hop on hop off one. We just sat back to make twenty Four stops. Four earphones were each handed to us while the four of us listened intently. Off we went on tour.

We were up at four the next day to travel to Prague in the Czech Republic. After four hours, we reach the place. We immediatel­y head off for the old town, the Bohemian Empire. Off we went to Charles Bridge where bands sounded off with Jazz and Classical music. At four in the afternoon, off we hiked to the castle and lost some four pounds from this. Here, our computatio­ns and money was off as they don't use the Euro, it was something else. It was four Euro to a hundred.

On our fourth day, the four of us went off to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Off we went to a small quaint town where artisans lived even during the Stone Age. As usua,l we went off to where a castle was. Off the beaten path, we found a shortcut. We found it. I even went off path to let off the water I drank along the way. Off from the CCTV or prying eyes. Off, I hope was the cameras, if there were.

On and off we were for four days in four countries in a four wheel drive Range Rover. Off we were from our schedule, just glad too that
