Day 10 Sunday: Sunrise

As ever the morning begins early but I don't mind so much and really appreciate the bed and a room that isn't freezing. I even used the en suite shower which, although a little cold, was a luxury to do in the morning and with light. It's all solar powered here so lights are dim but do their job well enough.

In the common room I get myself breakfast and watch the sun rise over the distant mountains. We seem to be in a plateau here surrounded by a ring of mountains. Anywhere you look is a photograph but here, staring out the window, I am dumbstruck as the sun slowly rises and everything shimmers.

But we quickly realise there's a downside to all this beauty and seclusion. The internet. It's absent. They have only a small area (of a few centimetres) on one table where a connection is found a few minutes a day. Everyone leaves their phones there. Everyone is disappointed.
