Uphill and downhill, we trekked through rocks \u2013 some sturdy, some not very \u2013 and wandered through forests of tall trees, leading us to spectacular views!<\/p> The hike essentially provided a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. We relished the opportunity to connect and really be one with nature, yet, equally importantly, we found that it strengthened the connection and spirit of friendship amongst us colleagues and created memories that we will treasure for years to come.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> ENDS<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[552],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amrs-blog","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"\n
