Back to civilization

At 07.30 am I woke up the others since the weather was absolutely fabulous and we intended to go to Patorn Peak. It was a sizzling hot summerday. We all had breakfast outside! Then we were off. Terje and Terje stayed to work on their tan. Really close to the last snow chute I hit my knee on a rock when sinking down in the edge of the snow field so I stayed and watched them heading up. When we were descending we saw a bunch of russians who set camp close to us. I tried to have a conversation but soon gave up. They were a whole bunch. Maybe russians like to hike in big groups? We had lunch and then decided we would descend all the way today. It was a long and strenuous hike down to the village and we came down just before 9 pm. We called for transport and only had to wait 15 min. We got our rooms. I had a really quick shower before we went to restaurant Semerka. There was high life with a group from Pilgrim celebrating that they summited with a lot of vodka and crazy dancing. It was quite fun with chaos, happy people, drunk people, good food and cold beers like we were in a movie by Emir Kusturica.

Daily morning routine - sunscreen.
