The second half

Refreshed after my night at the Swiss hut, this morning's climb over loose rock, with no-one else around, brought me to the top, with a good view of Piz Bernina.  Then I retraced my steps back to the hut, reached about 1.0 pm, where I was able to assist two old ladies who requested a hand down over some knotted roots.  All in the day's work!  After cake at the hut (living it up expensively in my brief stay in Switzerland), I went on down to the village with the idea of overnighting in the campsite dorm, but it was fully booked so decided instead to set off on the next stage and bivvy tonight, making for not such a long day tomorrow.  It's good to have the flexibility to vary the plan.
