The view from our window in Bujareulo.
The weather in Ordesa
The day we should have got advice! Lots of noisy people in the refuge in the morning - Spaniards who like to shout the moment they wake up (at 6am). Rain the word of the day plus low cloud or fog making it impossible to appreciate the views and mountains. Start to cross very high rivers as soon as we set off so wet feet very early on. Depth of the water and stones mean we have to do it with our boots on. End the day without drying out as there turn out to be loads of rivers and the rain doesn’t stop. Lots of wet tourists in Ordesa Valley. Impossible to see the blue of the water in this weather. Go up to Góriz by the longer route in order to avoid those terrible chains that freaked me out 7 years ago. To my dismay the refuge is the same dump as before i.e. stand-up, outside toilets and cold water. Also the lockers are so small and close together that it’s impossible to put stuff out of the way. Food rubbish, staff uninterested. Speak to nice boy from Pamplona and 2 Dutch tourists at dinner. Another table is all English. Bed early expecting to freeze but they must have changed the windows as it’s actually warm. Slept little due to smell of farts and snoring. Lost my only spare trousers in the mess of people’s wet gear. Nothing has dried overnight.
