GR11 - Day 23 - to Refugi dera Restanca

We spent the entire day in the clouds. The way up was nice and easy with a gentle grade. We reached the Ruis pass and even managed to have a nice view of Lac Ruis before it closed in again. The path is similar to a creek. The way down was equally gentle. The only surprise was the very end where we had some serious steep climbing through the wet grass and bushes to finally reach the Refugi dera Restanca. My boots were totally soaked. Could wring out my socks! The weather is too humid to contemplate laundry. We've been in a cloud all day. The person manning the refugio suggested calling Colomers to reserve a bed for tomorrow. Unless people cancel, we will be sleeping on the floor! Peter and Marcus, the German guy, enjoyed sitting at the same table as a Dutch vegetarian family. They got to pig out on delicious pork tenderloin and mushrooms. We are really in the clouds now. You look out the window and see absolutely nothing.
