Today while taking a 6 hour cruise around the Caldera in Santorini I realized a few things.

Need to Get Fit

While hiking to the top of Nea Kameni at times my back would hurt. Earlier this year we were planning to hike Everest Base Camp. After this mini hike I realized I am probably not fit enough to hike EBC and my back shouldn’t hurt during a mini hike like this given the fact that I am just 20.

Need to Learn How To Swim

From Nea Kameni we headed to the hot springs, Palea Kameni. To get to the springs one had to swim in the sea for less than 50 meters. The was 11 meter deep at the deepest point. I didn’t trust my swimming skills enough to swim in the sea and was left seeing others swim to the spring. Swimming is an essential skill.

Need to Learn how to ride a two wheeler

While thinking about essential skills I realized that I need to learn how to ride a bike. I was thinking of the Thousand Dollar Challenge and how I never rode the bike, sitting in the back seat the whole time. At 20 I should know how to ride a bike.

Summer looks like a good time to learn some of these things. Can learn how to ride a two wheeler courtsey Edwin during a few weekends at Pune. If my company keeps me in Courtyard by Marriot for 2 months then I can learn to swim and get fit in the process.
