The rain made the very narrow steep path (often with a sheer drop below) very slippery and we had to concentrate on every single step. The decent was also challenging and after 11 hours we arrived at our mountain lodge where they took pity on us and 'upgraded' us to their only room with a private bathroom🙏 We both fell asleep within seconds after another lovely home-cooked meal.Read more
