Near and far
Hello my dear Steemians,
Recently on one of our trips to the famous touristic place in Edinburgh called Arthur’s seat, which is a volcano hill in Edinburgh, we decided to climb to the top of hill. We head that it might take only 40 minutes despite of such steep hill. We wanted to find out that we are still fit enough for that.
The weather was great and sunny, some wind which is not unusual but we had luck because wind was not cold and we did not need warm clothes.
While on the way we looked back or look down from hill, we have seen that down at the feet of hill we have seen a white spot, we were thinking what is it. My hubby had a camera with him and he looked through the lens and seen that it was an ice-cream wagon.
Our thought was once we are down we will reward ourselves with ice-cream.
For the third month in a row, the ice cream vendor—pausing only to nap or try to chew on some stale, dried-out ice cream cones—kept tapping the turn-signal levers of his mobile ice cream van. He held out hope that, eventually, someone would notice these flashes of light, and his little shop on wheels would finally get its first customer!
But no one saw him—or perhaps no one knew Morse code. Even when those flashes appeared on the horizon in the evenings—signaling to those in the know, "The tastiest and cheapest ice cream is right here!"—they went completely unnoticed... until, by pure chance, you happened to spot this van! :)

I love such soft eyes and every time when we see such van I can't resist and buy some this time the van was very, very far away so no chance for me to have ice-cream :)

Qué buena idea la del carrito de helados al pie de Arthur's Seat, lo que aprendí es que esas recompensas después de subir valen el doble. ¿Cuánto tardaron realmente en llegar a la cima?
Climbing Arthur's seat is no joke so spotting that ice cream van from the top must have been the best motivation for the way down.
