The plan was just for a half-day this day. From here on out there really aren’t decent campsites between those on the itinerary, so as we started the trip a half day ahead of schedule, we kind of needed to get back on track so we could camp at the remaining towns and glacier camps up high. Becky was still feeling a little off but better than yesterday. We stopped and set up camp at lunchtime today. Everyone had a chance to do laundry and get cleaned up. The weather was changing even faster now that we were getting closer to the alpine. Within just a couple hours, the hot clear weather changed to clouds and rain.
After dinner the weather cleared back off again and we walked up to the nearby schoolhouse. A large guided Dutch group was camped there and as we found out, usually when a big guided group hits a small town, there’s usually some kind of traditional dance presentation (and a request to make a donation to the school/town). The presentation and speeches in terribly broken English in the dimly lit schoolhouse were very endearing though, and it was a lot of fun
