Plateau of Aiguallut to Hospital de Vielha

The morning was spent climbing up to Coll de Mulleres (2928 meters). 

We finally reached the Coll de Mulleres. And I forgot to take a picture. We were too intent on choosing the best way down. 

Then the long downhill started. And the weather started to change a bit.

The views were more constant today and the weather was better but it wasn’t quite as intense or magical. That’s OK because I can only handle so much intensity.  

Chantal and Paul have hiked the PCT and CDT and are blog followers of Wired. They live an hour from where we ended today. After they offered to host Wired she asked them if they wanted to also host us. They said yes. I can’t believe how lucky we are. The last 3 days have been the hardest 3 of the HRP. I need some rest! They met us with beer and sandwiches. As soon as we got in the car Paul said we needed to spend 3 nights (2 zeroes) with them. How could we argue? There is nothing like hikers hosting hikers. They know exactly what we want and need. It’s been interesting to talk trail with them. We have lots in common.
