By Garik and Lena

• We woke up as usual at 06:00AM when the two French girls and the military guy walked away. We spent another hour in bed before we actually got up. After breakfast we went to see the canyon near the hut. The weather this morning was excellent, light rain and wind, but mostly sunny! On our way we saw couple of times beautiful rainbows.

We packed our stuff quite quickly and ate a small breakfast. We cleaned a bit the table where we ate, we planned to clean the floor too, but the warden told us that he will do it. Sorry… our dirty bags made such a mess… During the night we woke up for a moment because we heard noise coming from the entrance. At the morning we realized that those were two French girls, they got lost on their way and arrived at the small hours of a night… Wow…  Read the rest of the entry »
