and I start to hike a bit up for an hour, and find a spot at 19:30 - it's a bit uneven, and windy as well.

No good sleep, but getting up 7:00 as the sun approaches the tent. Ascending nicely (moderately) toward Gatscholalücke and seeing toward Furkapass for a while, also nice small ponds with clear (running) water, eventually I reach Gatscholalücke.

Descending partially flat but then again steeply, which with the heavy backpack is tiresome. Passing by small lakes or ponds until I reach the St. Gotthardpass and Hospice with large windmills.
I take a rest as I feel exhausted, and sun and steady wind adds to it . . .
Some distances at St. Gotthard Hospiz:
- Gotthard Hospiz - Airolo: 2h
- Gotthard Hospiz - Lago della Sella: 45m
- Gotthard Hospiz - Giübin: 2h 45m
Around 15:30 I decide to hike a bit up toward Lago dell Sella, but divert toward Bassa della Sella, a small hill a bit aside where I find a flat spot to pitch the tent for tonight.

Better sleep, but all night long wind - no surprise with all the huge windmills put around here near the pass. Departing 8:30, getting some fresh water from the nearby source, and then descend slowly.
The valley is narrow, the new street, the old street and the hiking trail - it's still impressive nature.
Eventually around noon, I reach Hospental train station.

With headache I step into the train in Hospental - I keep drinking water and go slow, and try to sleep in the train.
Lack of sleep really took its toll - so important to have a good rest when hiking more than just a day.
That's it.
