Pretty much the first thing we saw after starting to walk was a marmot and then another marmot and then another marmot :D there were so many marmots and they are sooooooooooo cute :D it was an amazing morning because we got about 2m away from a marmot.
Today instead of walking down a valley to our bus home we took a track along the edge of the mountain and looked at the fantastic view and them took the cable car down.
For the first half an hour to an hour of the walk was extremely muddy and we all felt like we were walking on platform shoes because of the thick layer of mud caked to our boots. But for this part of the walk there were almost no people on the track and then suddenly after an hour there were heaps. There was about 500 people walking the other derection to us. They were waking from te cable car towards the refuge we had just left to have lunch. On the walk we also say a
Massive wooden buffalo and the walked up a huge hill but at the top of the hill there was a cafe so we bought 2 apple stroodles a couple of coffees and a hot chocolate. After morning tea we caught the cable car down and then Bought lunch and got on a bus. We took 3 busses and two train and all went well except for one train which we had to run for because the ticket machine was buggered. Once we arrived back in Venice we had a nice cold shower (because it was stinking hot) and then had pizza for dinner (yummy) got to be quite early and slept like a log

Sounds like you are all fitties and NOT fatties, with all that walking! We have also enjoyed the photos - some wonderful panoramas and we agree that the marmots are very cute. Very impressed that you are blogging so regularly Alastair and thank you as we are enjoying hearing about your adventures.
