You can probably imagine how relieved we were to see the cabin from the distance. We had been walking for over six hours, we had run out of water, we were cold, hungry, and the night was so dark! We should have planned the trip more carefully so that we would stay somewhere at sunset. But now it was too late. Fortunately, I had a head torch with me so we were not left in complete darkness. And we could somehow see the house in the distance. If only we had known then that they had rooms with warm, comfortable wool bedding, and hot soup for supper, we would have hurried up instead on lingering. One of our friend insisted that we kept going. He thought it was a private building and not a chalet. But I persuaded my friends to check that out, and that was a good choice. The night at the chalet was really inexpensive and would have missed all the ‘luxuries", as Jackie called the shower and the wool bedding, if we kept on walking in the darkness. On the next day, we got to know the couple who owned the chalet a bit better. They had been living there for over twenty years and they always welcomed tourists at each time of the day and night. They also knew the mountains from inside out so they gave us some suggestions on where to go and what to see during the next days.
