hike day 4: gentianes

what varied terrain! the morning started with a steady climb through farmers' pastures parcelled off on rolling hills. then came a near 1000 metre ascent-descent in forested paths with a steady diet of rock-hopping through streams of mountain run-off. (if i was a mountain goat in a previous life, sadly my chevre talents don't extend to spontaneous cheese production!) by the time i hit my destination, i wasn't yet ready to hang up my hiking boots so i just kept walking knowing my emergency camping gear would be making its first appearance. the verdict, with a little mcguyver savvy and no rain, all good!
