2nd day became almost too long and we were extremely tired, We also learn the lesson that we need to keep up our walking tempo more faster.
We've stopped almost every refugio for refreshment, and been taking photos every time the scenery changes (Yes! I have a typical Japanese soul) But at least I have amazing photograph that I can remember these magnificent moment, and I saw this absolutely beautiful moon from our accommodation's balcony.
We stayed Munt de sennes refugio. Staff was very nice, nice food, stunning location and we just needed to sleep there!!
3rd day - we needed to walk through the enormously large and quiet filed. The field took us to the large stone/rocky mountain's valleys, we climb down the rocky mountain to get to our next destination, next to the lake.
Walking down the lime stone, rocky track was very difficult and made me feel scared. Small pebble are very slippery and I needed to concentrate on every steps.
Being cautious made my walking speed so slow again, so again it took much longer than we aimed for but after 5 hours walk, we finally came down and had a homemade sausage and vegetable soup at the Refugio.
Finally found the lake. Simply stunning and so rewarding.
What a lucky cows, who lives here.
Walking walking walking..
and a bit lost...
We kept going up and down, magnificent scenery changes every 30min.
and this solid rock track was not fun. not easy.
After the long long rock track climbing, this landscape welcomed us.
Very quiet.
Finally made it...
We nearly missed our dinner!!!
what a long long day. We start walking at 8am, then got to our 2nd Refugio at 6pm.
We stayed at Refugio Prato Piazza at 1st night.
The food, room, staff, everything was so, so...BUT the location was the best!!
absolutely love this area. We got up early to start early walk - but after about 1 hour walk started, we finally realised that one of the track (no.2 Track) we wanted to go through is closed due to the land slide..
We lost about 1.5 hours to realise this.
Then - we took bus to drove down the mountain to get to another road. This took about 1.5 hours. so we end up lost our very important 3 hours of walking time in the morning.
Hiking Start!
But.. our planned track was closed. Very disappointing.
This is the landslide above the No.2 track.
We could hear the continuous rock sliding sounds... Lucky we realised and went back.
After loosing morning 3 hours, we tried to catch up to our plan, so just kept on climbing for about 2 hours. very steep and long climb, and we had a best little rest at refugio. Surprisingly the food is incredibly delicious and not too expensive.
