The day turned out quite different than yesterday. We spent the night warm and cozy indoors, we got a nice breakfast, refilled our water and went outside and could see for the first time the countryside around us. Off we went after a big THANK YOU walking back up to the pass. Now we could see all the old cairns and after yesterdays weather they really made sense. And today we mostly hiked downhill or along level trails or road. In the evening we had to search a bit for an acceptable site for the night. Spots we had thought to be possible on the map turned out rather sloping. Eventually we found one after crossing some fences. We staid for night in a pine forest.
