A Cup of Coffee Above the Clouds

I have always believed that coffee and altitude are the best combination for contemplating life. So, when a friend recommended a cafe on a mountaintop, I immediately agreed without thinking twice. However, before getting to the "contemplating with a cup of coffee" part, there was one thing that needed to be completed first: the journey there.

The road to this cafe turned out to be more suitable for a test of courage than a leisurely journey. Smooth asphalt only lasted half the journey, the rest was a combination of steep uphill roads, and sharp bends that could make anyone suddenly religious.

However, all the tiredness was immediately paid off when I saw the view. The sky stretched wide with thin clouds that seemed like they could be reached by hand. The air was so fresh that my lungs thanked me because I finally didn't have to inhale vehicle exhaust fumes and city pollution.

The cafe was partly made of wood with several small tables arranged facing the ravine (or more precisely, the spectacular panorama). I ordered a cup of black coffee, hoping to enjoy the tranquility here.

When I finally took a sip of my coffee, I realized that this is where the beauty lies. Not just in the scenery or the bitter-sweet taste of the coffee, but also in the little chaos that makes everything feel more alive.

So, if you ask me if I will come back here? The answer is, of course. As long as I am ready to face the winding road and the little surprises that await at the top. After all, life is like that, isn't it?

And here are some of the best photos of what I said above!
