Hiking in the Pyrenees

Ben and I spent 5 fabulous days "sans" kid, hiking in the Pyrenees from hut to hut.

Our base, little village in the Pyrenees, Cauterets

Hearty picnic of cheese and sausage

Lac d'Estom

7 lake hike

This is when we realized after about 5 hours of hiking, we still had to go on top of the mountain on the other side of the valley, .i.e. hike all the way down, then all the way up!
