After a terrible nights sleep, we went hunting for our free breakfast – Mark somehow got lost!? During breakfast we were given our marching orders. We hurriedly packed, then Matt and I went to sort the flights and rest sorted the gear.
The next three hours were some of the worst of the whole trip. All we were trying to do was get out of here! We went from earning £60 to losing £80 :( The afternoon was spent sorting our own flights from Copenhagen to home – another £80 lost :(
This is an expensive lesson to learn!!
Matt showed us the maps he had produced for the journey. It appears that we were two-thirds of the way across the lakes and then the terrain levelled out. Alistair said that this made him feel better. It had the opposite effect on me – it pissed me off! We could have done it. Why didn’t we have these maps with us? If we had, our decision of whether to go back or not would have been more informed.
Later on we had a quality BBQ and chatted to a lovely German couple and an odd (but v. nice) old man. Then after a bottle of whisky, we retreated to our tents.
