I spend the morning hiking past two cols and down to the village Chappelle d’Abondance, but it becomes increasingly apparent that something’s not quite right with me..
I feel off. Suddenly I have lost any drive or energy to hike out of town, which is totally not normal.
After asking at a few different “hiker” hostels and being rejected (reservation only) I had no choice but to settle for a $150 room at a really swank resort spa hotel.
I’ll leave out the gritty details but I had to spend the next 3 days basically in bed due to illness and the associated fatigue of not really being able to eat.
