Natalie and I were up and away this morning as we had a lot of kilometres to cover...
The morning was spent weaving our way through the forests from Mex to the eco-friendly refuge at Chindonne - occasionally popping out by a beautiful waterfall or in a summery alpine meadow.
Yesterday I moaned a lot about the yellow signs that mark every junction - taking the map reading challenge out of the tour. After this morning, I take it all back :)
In the afternoon, the terrain became more challenging. The narrow disintegrating paths clung precariously to the steep sides of the mountains. Again, we were rewarded with moments of jaw-dropping beauty, such as the view of the Dents du Midi. Natalie and I tried to balance and tip-toe our way to the Refuge de Bonavau and after eleven hours of walking, we made it!
Too tired to really appreciate the beauty of this delightful 'Heidi' style mountain hut, we ate a fine meal and turned in for the night...
Zzzzzzzzzz...
