Apart from the last hour, that was a great day – probably the best yet !

Not a great night’s sleep for me, Neil woke me up in the dormitory sometime around 2am with some comment about sounding like an air compressor… (Think he might have saved me from a lynching !)

Anyway, all packed up and ready to go by 7.45… and it was cool to start with (out of the sun), as we climbed up onto the tops – noting the rock has now changed from limestone to granite.

Stunning scenery then past the Estanh de Rius lake – where we stopped and had our lunch (second breakfast).

Only an hour and a half from there to the Refugio we believed – so had we actually got the chance to finish a day without being completely done in at the end ….?

Well no, a last sting in the tail saw us heading back up hill again – somewhat indignantly – thinking we may have gone wrong (a horrible feeling at the end of the day), but actually, we were right 😀 and got here about half an hour before it started raining
