Participant's travel report
| Erika u. Peter Jost

Ich öffne den Reißverschluss meines Zeltes u. schlage die taufeuchte Plane zurück. Mein Blick fällt auf die kleinen Zelte meiner Mitreisenden u. auf das große Küchenzelt, in dem es schon verheißungsvoll klappert. Man schält sich aus den warmen Schlafsäcken- es hatte Minusgrade in der Nacht — u. begibt sich zur Katzenwäsche an den Fluss mit milchigweißem eiskalten Gletscherwasser.
