Rain. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. And more rain. Tough to hike in the rain, I find. It might be the extra physical load incurred by sliding on slippery paths, clinging raingear, and sauna-like conditions within said clinging one's raingear. Or it might be psychological (it would have been nice to have seen something a little further away than 10 meters). But whatever it is, hiking in the rain is draining.
I try to keep everyone's spirits up (success most notably with Lidia, whose basic attitude towards days like today mirrors mine -- i.e., they are what they are, so add humour and stir), but Russ and Sally are no longer consolable when it rains (if they ever were).
Now waiting for dinner (we are the only guests in the hut, so they appear to have given almost all the staff the day off and as a result service is counterintuitively glacial).
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny; I'm looking forward to it :-).
