Bucky went through another long night, but said he felt a little better this morning. He didn't feel strong enough to climb, but he did feel strong enough to go to a hike, or so he said. The original plan for the day was to do an 18 pitch climb up to the summit of Tofana di Rozes. I thought this might be a little too much for Laura and I to tackle by ourselves so we all went for a hike. Two minutes in to the hike Bucky told Laura and I to go on ahead and he would follow at his own pace since he was still feeling pretty weak. We found out later that he turned around after about fifteen minutes and went back to sleep in the back seat of the car! Laura and I had a very nice hike however. The clouds were very low in the morning, but as the day progressed the clouds receded and we got to see some pretty fantastic views.
After we got back to the Rifugio Dibona we headed down to the town of Cortina d'Ampezzo to grab some dinner and maybe find a place to stay the night. Cortina reminded me a lot of Vail or Aspen, it was obviously a playground for the wealthy. We managed to find a cool and reasonably priced place for dinner, but decided to head North to stay the night. We drove up to the town of Misurina and found a nice place situated at the end of a beautiful lake. Bucky was feeling stronger, but still not great. That is now two straight days of sleeping in the back of a car for him!

The Tofana di Rozes. One day we will have to come back and try again!
Hopefully without any illness! |
