Day 100: Nice views and procrastinating a decisions

I had planned to sleep without rainfly, but there was a short  and unexpected thunderstorm yesterday night.


This morning I dropped down a dirt road into the valley in order to get more food. There was obviously something special going on, because lots of people wore traditional clothing.

On a nice path, I walked up the mountains on the other side of the valley. Open meadows and hardly any sheep, mainly fenced in cows.

In the afternoon I came to Mt Viscolul, which seems to be popular as there were several people and cars. At the refugio, there was a map of the area with marked trails. I looked at it and now I'm not sure which route to take of the 4 I have. I had considered to take a long route and bought lots of food, but on the map it looked like there are no trails for a long time and other parts are on the road. The short route seems to be on trails and is MUCH shorter (like 100 km). I tend towards the short route but I wonder why 3 out of 4 routes seem to take much longer routes all more or less in the same direction. Did I mention that I hate decisions?!

So I camped really early, despite beautiful weather and sufficient energy, because the routes will split soon and I didn't wanted to decide...
