There wasn’t much to today.
It looked like Mt. Doom was outside of my tent this morning.
I walked down in the valley below, and then I climbed up and over a pass, leading me to the Arcalis ski resort.
Then I walked down some nice trails and dirt roads to the small village of El Serrat, where I decided to blow a hundred euros on a room at a fancy spa-hotel! I had to treat myself at least once on this trip, with how much I’ve been saving by eating and sleeping wild. And I’ve made it through the hardest days of the HRP! That is something worth celebrating.
For dinner I had a rabbit’s leg (a la Catalana) with potato and legumes, along with a salad with some duck in it, a few beers, and my favorite dessert, Tiramisu!!! All included in my “pension” of the stay (pension means dinner and breakfast is included with the stay).
In the morning, an all you can eat breakfast buffet, unlimited OJ, coffee, bacon, sausage, eggs (sunny side up), croissants, and au chocolats.
Worth every penny.
