Via ferrata heaven 1/08/2013

 


Second night in the parking lot of the gondola and a new set of neighbours :) I'm sitting on the top of my van enjoying a cold one after a great day out! Managed to find a via ferrata today, after almost giving up hope and climbed it to the top of a mountain, it was brilliant! Met a few people along the way I could chat to so it hasn't been as lonely as I thought it might. The via ferrata was incredible, it wasn't very demanding and for most of it I climbed up the rock without using the cable :) there was a slow group in front of me but that was ok, the attitude really got to me more than I thought it would and I felt myself having to take a lot of breaks. Right now I'm trying to decide what to do tomorrow, should I spend another night here which I'm loving but my legs are in so much pain, I think I've pulled a muscle so hiking is really a no no and I asked at the tourist office and apparently you're not allowed swimming in any of the lakes here, I guess its cos its a unesco heritage site. That is nice though cos I've been drinking the water on the mountain. If I leave I can't be sure of finding another place as amazing as this is. There is so much to do here and its so beautiful! I'm also running low on gas and its so expensive in italy. Its even more expensive than switzerland. I'm not really sure why italy is such an expensive country! Its so poor, how do the people survive with these crazy prices? So basically I'm low on has and don't know what to do tomorrow.
