Yet another average holiday: flight ticket bought for correct day but incorrect year 🙈, so jumped in my 🚗, to get to the dolomites in time, picked a mountain pass but there was a gas leak discovered in the village so the only road was closed for 3 hours, made it just in time to our starting point to hike the same evening to our first mountain but arriving 3 minutes before dinner. The next day a glacier lake begged to be swum in. Though it turned out to be evil cold we still decided for a morning swim the next day as well. After another full day hiking we had planned an easier hike but the trail was closed and we ended up hiking for 9 hours. The only way to reach that hut was by a vertical drop decorated with ropes and steel cables, so I had to throw my vertigo into the dustbin. Arrived at the top they had built a mountain hut at 3.200m with a 360 panorama: the perfect place for a party, especially since the boss was gone that night. Crazily cool 7 day mountain hut trekking with two toppers!
