Day 5 Auberge U Vallone to Hotel Castel di Vergio
Thursday 21/06/07
After a very restless night in the tent ( sleeping in a tent takes a bit of getting used too,especially when 2 are sharing a one man tent )
We woke up later than usual and got a breakfast too.
first thing I noticed today was that I felt a little more relaxed as to me the hardest day was over, I could stop worrying about the Cirque now
and just enjoy the rest of the walk.
We finally set off at 7.30 for an easier days walking , we hoped.
The first part of the walk was through the pine trees ,a gentle steady climb before turning steep and ending with a scramble up to the top of the Bocca di Frogiale.
It was very hot today and walking by the golo river gave us plenty of opportunity to go skinny dipping,in all the wonderful rock pools,with fantastic waterfalls too
As it was so hot the last stretch to the hotel seemed to take forever , so it felt good to finally get there.
Free camping here and warm showers too.
Anyone for tea and cake….
Made just for my boys…a nice big chocolate cake
and there is not much left !!!
Very easy to make:-
8oz SR flour
8oz caster sugar
8 oz margarine
4 eggs.
Beat the sugar and margarine together until soft and fluffy,
beat in the eggs a little at a time,
then fold in the flour.
Bake for 20 mins at 190…..
Then sandwich together with butter icing, made with butter and icing sugar
