GR11 - Day 22 - to Hospital de Viella

No rain, no storms overnight, nor in the morning. Hooray! The first couple hours were nice. The going was okay. By the time we reached the 2nd collado de Anglios, we were in the clouds. We had a good piece on snow which helps us make time. The going down to the Anglios Refugio was a bit difficult in snow and scree. We had lunch at the refugio and as were were ready to leave, it started pouring. We turned around and decided to wait it out in the hut. The last part of the day was unending in the rocks and beech leaves. The sight of the road and cars was uplifting. We decided to walk on the road to the Refugi Sant Nicolau (or Hospital de Viella). We didn't want any more slippery trails in the trees. You have no idea how slippery beech leaves become when wet. We finally arrived after 9 hrs. We were greeted by an extremely friendly bunch of Catalans.
