These are the cable runners from Acacias, Colombia. They need to use the cableway to go to school, the doctor or any other place that is outside their community. It measures 800 meters and it is at 230 m high. The cable is apparently close to 50 years old and it is kept and taken care of by the community.

 Getting your education should not put you in mortal danger everyday, yet these “tirolesas” like we call them in Spanish, are used in many inaccessible areas of the world, Colombia is just one of them.

Summer vacation in miyagi. 宮城への帰省では姪達と一緒にオニコウベスキー場へ。悲しい出来事で始まってしまった夏休みに何か他の思い出を作ってあげたいと思って。とはいえ、コロナの感染者数も増加していたので、ソーシャルディスタンスが取れて、屋内よりは屋外で、混雑しない場所で…と探した結果。個人的には開放感あってとても気持ち良かったし、グリーンシーズンのスキー場もいいもんだなぁと思ったけど。子供的には少し遊び足りなかったかもな（苦笑）。それにしてもゴンドラや他の設備がすごくレトロでなんか良かった。 #vacation #summer #summervacation #夏 #夏休み #帰省 #homecoming #宮城 #宮城県 #miyagi #ゴンドラ #ロープウェイ #ropeway #cableway #スキー場 #skiresort #オニコウベスキー場 #onikoubeskiresort #鬼首 #onikoube #夏の思い出 #青空 (オニコウベスキー場) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiKzbDBJyxY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[ JUNE 2022 ] This was a fabulous holiday and was made even more wonderful by the fact we finally got to go on it. This one had been a journey in itself before we even got to the airport. We had booked to go on this holiday with Andy’s Parents in 2019, ready for 2020 and then COVID-19 hit the planet and we were all locked away in our own homes. So, after 2020 was cancelled, then 2021 was…

I saw your screenshot talking about how czech tourists are dumb, and now I'm very curious as to why? I feel like those are problems with tourists in general sometimes

we are not dumb in the way most tourists are, we are special little boys. most tourists act dumb because they don't do enough research - if they did they would reconsider. we on the other hand can do however much research we want yet we will always choose the worst course of action. not only are we underprepared and overconfident, we are underprepared and overconfident intentionally. there are no rational thoughts in our head, only ego and spite.

when we go to tatry, we understand the language of the locals (although it is silly goofy) and we do talk to them about the mountains and what to wear, where to go, but when they tell us that you need proper gear and not to stray off path, we chuckle and intentionally try to prove them wrong. silly locals! they don't know you can climb ďumbier in the winter in one day, wearing the godawful checkerboard shorts, sandals and socks and with a big tesco bag in hand. and ofc we can't forget the fanny pack of good luck. we have been to sněžka before (in the summer, went by cableway, stayed for 30 minutes), we know what mountains are like. the locals tell us that's not the same, we know nothing about actual mountains and we will die? no we won't, it's fine. there is a clearly marked path? oh but i think this way is gonna be a shortcut! there's a fence stopping us from going to the nice panorama view spot? haha fences are meant to be climbed over.

that is how tatry got the nickname "biggest czech graveyard"

you can imagine what happens when we go to the alps and don't understand the locals

(i invite every czech and every person that has experience with czech tourists to reblog and add their personal experience)

Appenzell, Switzerland: Appenzell is a town in northeastern Switzerland, at the foot of the Alpstein mountains. Trails and cableways connect various summits, including towering Säntis peak. On the steep cliffs of the Ebenalp, the Wildkirchli cave complex houses a 17th-century chapel and hermitage. Wikipedia

Table mountain & Stadium, Cape town, South Aferica: Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. Wikipedia

If you've ever arranged a dinner party, surely you've wondered where the hell Elrond gets food, clothes, clean sheets, etc for all the guests he entertains at his bed and breakfast homely house, seeing as it seems to be quite hidden in the mountains, far from any other towns, and there's no mention of any trade routes nor do any travelers we read about encounter merchants or caravans along the way.

If you're wondering about Lauterbrunnen, that's technically educated speculation, but pretty plausible.
