After a late breakfast, Jim and I decided that we could not hang around all day, and it would be useful to drop back to the village and bring up some supplies.
We had been talking to the wardens and found out about the rules in the swiss huts... where they will cook guests food (provided it is simple) rather than allow them to have stoves anywhere near the hut.
We would go and get some pasta and other stuff, so we could save money on the daily rate.
Jim and I dropped back to the village, and came back to the hut on the same route as we had used on the first day.
We brought back several baguettes which we gave to the warden, in return we got soup ... in these days helicopter supply flights were once per week at most, so fresh produce was a luxury .. standard fare was sauerkraut and noodles with some meat. They were very grateful for the bagettes.
Tomorrow would be another peak day
