The next morning.... Bryon and Chris were up early and off to try the Monch/ Jungfrau double as Dave and I had done the year before. Dave and I took it easy, and left mid morning, together with Sue and Christine, we were going to stroll down to the Jungfraujoch and take the train down.
The descent from the hut was really peaceful, but the closer to the tourist parts the more congested it got.
Back down at the camp site, there was a surprise as Don and Phil were there, after having had a few days in the hills on their own. This was in the days before mobile phones and these coincides were not planned and just good fortune.
That night as we prepared dinner, the conversation turned to thoughts about how the "seasoned" tourer and the "newbie" differ in their approach ... we had chairs a double petrol burner stove, chairs and standard fare food. The boys had a single gas burner, and tins. Not sure which was more effective, but the creature comforts do help as you get older!
