The name says it all, it could also be the plural. Yesterday's journey to Theth was already a loooong stage in terms of time, less so in terms of distance. Picture 19 shows an average of 30, but in reality, it's significantly lower. Mountain passes are my passion ❤️‍🔥 the Western Alps are more like highways in comparison.
