Today we did the long but wonderful route called VF Gadotti
The day started off with a big hike up to the start of the route. We actually took a wrong turn during this first part so had to do a bit of a detour but no problem really. We met some Czech guys who enlightened us, and then we had a strange encounter with an older man who was sort of aimlessly walking around.

| This was our lunch spot, which was also a spot of conflict as Rhodri and I each thought our own selected spot was the better place to sit and have lunch. We worked out a solution in the end and eventually laughed about it! |

It was a long day of strenuous but beautiful hiking and just a bit of climbing. Some bits were more like just scrambling with hand rails and that was a bit disappointing because we wanted a bit more of a challenge. We hardly saw anyone all day and had a lovely little chat with the worker at the refugio on the way down.

We had dinner tonight at a 4 star hotel a couple hundred meters walk from our hotel, and they had really good beer and ok pizza.
