Days 36 cont'd & 37... 21st & 22nd June
"What an incredible few days. We have just completed the best four days ever. Scenery has been jaw-dropping. We've been up at about 2000m for most of it, on lofty ridges, rocky plateaus, with tiny glittering lakes, wild horses, bright yellow broom, sunshine and high spirits".
(I guess they're enjoying it then!)
"Been camping in hidden valleys miles from anywhere, popping into mountain refuges for cups of tea, eating lots of cake (cherry and almond, so very happy) and sleeping like babies.
Last night, after cheese and chorizo pasta, we retreated to the tent for a monumental thunderstorm. Went on all night - you could read your book by the lightening...absolutely amazing! The tent held up brilliantly, and woke today to blue skies again :)
Now camped in evening sunshine near Lac Bouillouses after a long downhill day. Tomorrow we continue to descend to plains - only 4 hours walking, all downhill - hopefully with a gite and good food at the end of it".
(Anyone would think someone thought they needed an easy day as a birthday treat tomorrow!!)
