We started hiking at 06:30…

… and took a first breakfast break at an idyllic stream, surrounded by flowers, goats and two cute dogs.

We then couldn’t resist and took a second breakfast at Bergeries de Bassetta. The sun was hot and, as we reached Bergerie d’I Croci, we stopped again for an amazing lunch…

I tried the biggest and best omelette of my life, while Yannick enjoyed his huge lasagna.

With an exploding belly, we somehow managed to climb to the ridge and slowly tackled the descent to Refuge d’Asinau.

The views of the Aguilles de Bavella were stunning, and made us considering hiking the high variant across them the next day.

We then had one of the worst nights on trail, as a strong wind kept blowing sand into our tent.
