Today's route:
Plan du Lion (720 m) - Menton (almost at sea level)
Here we are.
We were able to complete last year's plan of hiking from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea this year. There is no philosophical or similar conclusion. We are simply happy to be here, that nothing else happened, that last year's broken kneecap was not an obstacle.
Three numbers, gathered from the internet and therefore without guarantee: We have covered around 300 km from Modane to St-Dalmas-Valdeblore (GR 5) and from there continuing on GR 52 to Menton, with a total ascent of around 20,000 meters and slightly more descent.
We will now stay in Menton for three more nights, enjoying the place and the sea, and resting. On Wednesday, September 7, we will return home by train via Ventimiglia and Milan.
Thank you for actively and passively following our blog and for your interest in our hike. Maybe again someday...
