Decided to stay a day in Vares and go for a walk up the hillside.

The hotel we stayed in

Talking to the hotel owner, in the last few years mining re-started -- this created several thousand jobs -- it explains why there was such a decent number of shops and types of shops in the town -- the image here shows the hillside itself being mined in recent years

During the walk down to the town, we met this lady who was going to meet some friends -- I was impressed at how this was her regular route into the village -- a walk of about 2-3km, down a steep gravel path (and then back up) -- she was I'm guessing around 60
