An Ode to Gehringer, Actually

This time of the year 'tis not for the tourist
The shops appear shut and the peaks are snow capped
I wondered how far the walk to the cabin is
It was quite short as it turns out, very reasonable actually.
Although the reception was empty we were let in at last
By a man with a jumper and a map of the fjord
We contemplated the day that seemed unfortunately overcast
So we thought, let's climb up into the snow because we need to test Dan's snow grips, which worked very well actually.
Although my clothes were wetter than needed
My calls for respite were sadly not heeded
We climbed higher it seems than many had dared
Because it was freezing and wet, although it had a nice view actually.
The next day was sunny so we trekked up to see
The fjord as the postcard said it should be
With bags loaded full because we had to check out
We made it in time, although walking with those large bags is really tiring. So we went back down and caught a boat, actually.
