The capanna is part of an alpe that isn't an alpe any more (the boss of this place unfortunately is unable to tell me since when it doesn't exist anymore). Now most of the "cascine" (huts) are holiday homes. It's not bad were, but it is not beautiful. And I'm not sure I will sleep well, I have TOURISTS in my dorm, children too. And breakfast not before eight (!), thank god I don't have to leave early tomorrow. I walked eight hours and forty minutes today, climbed 1060m and went down 1255m. My highest point was 2700m. Oh dear, there is a television and they switched it on. Aargh. My fond thoughts go back to beautiful and peaceful Pian di Crest. By the way, on my last night (in between playing rounds of Skip-bo) I learned how to count in Ticinese (this will be difficult to understand for my Italian friends): vün, dü, tri, quatar, cinq, ses, set, vot, neuf, des, vündas, dodas, tredas, quatordas, quindas, sedas, derset, discdot (German: dischdott, English: dishdot), discneuf, vint and so on...
