After what seemed like an eternity of ocean swimming, then running across a desert biome (where I found a village), then going up-river, and through forests, I connected to Sura to close a loop on the map. We met in front of this fine mountain. There we survived the night mostly due to Sura's excellent fighting skills and my shabby shelter. We decided in the morning to climb this mountain.
