GR20 Day 9 — Slowing Down

June 1, 2022 — Stages 10 & 11a combined — Vizzavona to to Relais San Petru — 17mi / 4,500'

We ran into the French kids as we were beginning the trail for the day. Started very fast, and Eloise called us “machines.” We reached the end of stage 10 by noon and had lunch there. This is the first day with easy, well-graded trail, although it was blocked for a while in the afternoon by a group of big cows. We got to Relais San Petru about 6pm and had excellent dinner there in warm atmosphere of the privately-run refuge. 

This private refuge is also situated on a road and there were a lot of people there, but still, it wasn't crowded. We slept in rented tents.
