About Arslanbob

Last weekend I went to Arslanbob with my friend Tara. It took us over 4 hours to get there, switching taxis halfway. We arrived at lunchtime on Saturday, ate some plov at a chihanah, then met up with Tara's friends who work for CBT (Community Based Tourism). We started hiking to the waterfall in the afternoon when it started downpouring. So we ended up sitting under an ice cream tent in the center of town, playing cards for a few hours.

Later in the evening we went guesting at a local house. We sat and ate for hours with Tara's local friends. We slept very comfotably in a guesthouse that night. On Sunday the weather was perfect so we hiked all day: up to the small waterfall, then to the panorama, then to the big waterfall. It was great, exhausting though. We headed home Sunday night, and found much cheaper taxis back.

It was fun to be in the mountains where its cooler, and see the beautiful nature.
