It was nearly all sun and blue skies as I tried to hike from Chamonix France to Zermatt Switzerland. I made it 10 days before calling it quits. Three days short of Zermatt and the Matterhorn. Oh well.
The sandals were fine to hike in. The umbrella shaded me from the sun everyday. The hammock, slightly better than sleeping on loose gravel.
As usual, when going at it alone great people were met along the way. Never lonely, always in company. As I slept outside at 8,000 feet in an eletrical storm my new friends were nice and snugg inside their warm Swiss mountain hut. They all thought of me that night and the following day bought me dinner.
