Can A Notary Certify True Copy Of Original

Coca refuge in Valbondione (BG)

In this period
hot, think of the mountains is a cure, we can get to the high altitude is a shot of life that words can not describe.

seized by the desire as a child in front of a carton of chocolate, I started a Tuesday afternoon, July 6th to be precise, and with a clock indicating the sgurado 14.00 and with a backpack full of everything you need to Walker: backpack, map, camera, water, snacks, dressings, socks, slippers, a quadernino for travel notes, a pile, overalls, intimate parts, is short. .. Eta Beta backpack!!

The meetings are interesting once, a man so unique, endangered Bergamo figure that these people remain in the memory faded black and white photos of the rural reality that is now just a memory but today is unbelievable.

I stop, look and immortal with my digital camera this time. Accustomed to anything, I already feel like an explorer and go forward. I expect the path 301, CAI, I will lead up to the shelter. During the walk, do not miss a look at everything around me, and my eyes finally settle on the wonders of nature, as a butterfly pose, or a flower never seen before with its colors green and brown tones broke the wood














Every now and meet other hikers on the trail "able" to go down like a true mountain goats and wonder how I can get to emulate them, but the fact of walking for the first time this season for two and half hours, seems to have already done a lot .... and I have yet to reach the finish line!! Finally after

having toiled up a steep path, and now with his legs like a piece of wood, there he is waiting for the fateful Coca refuge at 1892 meters, with a cool breeze that instantly makes you forget all the heat you has baked a few hours before. Hurrah!! We reached the hut, I salute the managers, take place in the room of bunk beds, I get rid of the backpack, freshen up, I change and am ready to breathe the air that passes at this altitude, and of course the sense of positivity that being with people you've never seen before, but who share the same passion, he makes right now is establishing a good company. Exchange of information on just beaten paths, and projects the next day are the topics of the day waiting for the fateful dinner time of 19.00!! ..... Feeling hungry? asks the girl in the kitchen, and all together the answer: "you all ready to eat" and we sit down without hesitation.
Capua (green cabbage leaves stuffed with ravioli Bergamo), slices of cheese and the ubiquitous polenta, and half a liter of red wine, take away the tiredness in no time at all.
Then about a chat between 22.00 and the other, a slice of cake and jenepy that will help to meet Morpheus goodnight.
The next day, after a hearty breakfast, I headed to the goal number two: the Lake of Coke in 2108 meters above sea level, with the its crystal clear water that rivals the very high that more than pure Levissima so you can not, pick the bowl with your hands, and sips away with to fill the stomach.
am over the moon, almost touch it with a finger as well as walk on the frozen snow still surrounding the costs of the natural lake. I'm alone with myself, I feel alive, I have finally given peace to that desire to deal with the mountains and nature, and I collect all these emotions on my travel notebook, where one day, a bit more in later years, riassaporerò these unique moments.

The deformation of the country is being felt painter and a small flower but wonderful, brings me to assess its shades .....

I wanted to put a picture of a poem by Battistino Bonali, but their small size would not be possible to read it here, so I put the link of the transcript made and I hope you like it because in it there are all the emotions that only those who live in the mountains, appreciate.


Hello and thank you, I hope that you also have to early opportunity to pull

from all the usual routine, and finally pass a good time.

Happy holidays!
