Jura Day 03

I woke up in the night sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat.  I hoped it was an allergy so I took some piriton.  Unfortunately it wasn’t, and I spent all day feeling awful.  The first climb took us up a ski slope, followed by a slight descent, and then another climb to the top.  The views were fantastic, south to the Alps, and north to the German plains.  We could just see the lakes at Fussen where we had started our trek. We then had a fairly perilous descent, scrambling down the path, before the path improved.  I then made a mistake with the navigation, adding a kilometre to our walk.  Returning to the correct trail, we then had another climb to the final summit.  Again, there were great views all round.  The descent was through the pine forest, down a ridge, with many roots to be avoided.  We reached the surfaced road and had a long descent down to the town, with lots of sweeping turns.  I was even having to take regular stops on this easy descent as I felt so bad.  We reached the town of Sonthofen and went into the first pharmacy that we saw, and bought some cough (?) mixture and throat tablets.  We then walked on to the station and took a taxi to our hotel for the night, rather than walking the additional 5km uphill.  I was asleep by about 8:30pm.  (I blame the Frenchwoman behind me on the plane who spent the entire flight coughing and sneezing)
