Day 2 Dinner and Accommodation

We sat down for dinner at just after 6 no menu you get whats served (I don't know why I sound surprised at this I wasn't exactly expecting waiter service!) we think it was some sort of meat broth albeit lacking any meat. Main course was rice and chicken with stewed vegetables again they were noticeable by their absence, and finally pudding peach tartlet which was nice. We went outside to sit on the terrace lasted 5 minutes the storm clouds have rolled in and it started hailing so basically everyone in and ensure bag is ready for the morning. More bad news Phillipe returns to our dorm with the weather forecast its not good, terential rain and cold winds, such a contrast to today. Phillipe recommends instead of starting at 6 we start at 4am it will give us chance to beat the rain to the next hut, we all agree thats a good idea, so extra early to bed for us. This has a plus side it means the united bathroom with ice cold running water will be empty, I seize the opportunity and do the usual teeth etc, then theres the toilet, mmmmm very interesting indeed as you can see that a number 2 here requires expert balance poise and a lot of effort and determination! The problem is with only 3 toilets for 72 guests last chance dashes don't guarantee a vacant cubicle. Have not mastered this art form yet and probably not likely to! The other plus is we will be first to the boot room so little chance of our boots disappearing mistakenly onto someone elses feet. Right, need to try and get some sleep stripped down to boxes as figuring with 24 people in here its going to be warm, the duvet is nice and thick anyway, p.s. My back is still aching but maxed out on pain killers today. No signal due to storm so hopefully this will be on in the morning. I am knackered but have thoroughly enjoyed today and can't wait for tomorrow to come.........
