hiking with dani & luzia
after an early phone-call, to tell me that nanouk was born, we met dani and luzia to hike up from oberriet up the kamor, then up to hoher kasten and eventually over to the staubere. it was a beautiful day with sun but ice cold temperatures. as always dani and luzia hiked much faster than we did, so it was a hard tour - but it really was worth it!
