The original plan for sunrise was to walk up for another half an hour to a higher peak, but the wind and cold killed that one pretty fast, and we crawled out of our bunks at 5:15 still wrapped in our sleeping bags and sat on the benches outside of the hut. We watched the sky change from black to red to brilliant daylight. It was so refreshing to watch - I can't remember the last time I've just sat and watched a sunrise.
Sadly, Kat and Gaston had to work at 9AM, so we had to pack up and run down the hill by 6:30. Even though it took us 3 hours to get up, we booked it down in only an hour and ten minutes. Tired but happy, we arrived back at the prison on time, recharged with the beauty of nature.
