Robert was not there when I arrived but the blackboard gave me
all the information I needed to know; my room was on the balcony,
first door on the left and the dinner was at 7 p.m.

André (front left) , Robert (far right), Marc, Waldenia (Brazil).
Did not get to know the names of the other two Frenchmen, and I did not see them again on the trail
