As the dino-snores in our bunk room, we handed out earplugs to our four roommates ensuring they were still our friends in the morning. After breakfast chow we said Ciao and slid our way down the mountain. If you haven't noticed yet, mileage isn't mentioned because it's all about the ups and downs we face each day. On other Alp hikes, the trail signs at least give estimates of how many hours it will take. Here the signs don't even dare to estimate it! A light rain all afternoon didn't phase us because Arlo engineered a way to strap our umbrellas on our packs so we still had both hands for our trusty hiking poles. At the warm and cozy hut we met five others who had also worked with Brittany to plan and book their route so we dubbed ourselves the Brittany Brigade. Two minutes before the group photo was snapped there were seven pieces of tiramisu in front of us. This group really takes the cake!
You sure do earn the good food and fantastic views! I need a beginners version of this!
