By Garik and Lena

• So sad… The end of the trip is getting closer every day and I can’t stop thinking of it. On one hand I’m tired and want to go home, on the other hand there is still so much to see! The tourism season is ending soon and you can feel it in the air. Last night the hut was almost empty, days are getting shorter really fast!

We’ve slept for another hour and than got up on our feet, and that was only after the big and loudly group from yesterday made some room in the hut. After the breakfast we put all our clothes on, our wet rain coats and pans on top, boots were also wet… and off we go! Read the rest of the entry »
