Our cabin was also the highest-numbered and the furthest away from the reception. I was wondering yesterday why they wouldn&#8217;t give us anything closer, but as I passed the other cabins on our &#8220;branch&#8221; of the road, I saw that all but one were occupied. So we may have gotten one of the last free cabins.<\/p>\n<p>Having had to walk extra yesterday to get to our cabin gave us a bit of a head start today. Well, I did have to walk all the way back to drop off our key, but I could do that without carrying my pack.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_4\/3813_Grinda_1.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The path to the east of the cabin village passed through pine and spruce forest and was mostly narrow and uneven.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_4\/3813_Grinda_2.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Descriptions of the route promised great views from the highest point of the island, at its south-eastern tip.

In practice, it was always just far enough from the seashore that we didn&#8217;t get any views.

We often lost track of the markings and had to back-track to fin them again, or just forge forward and assume that we&#8217;d strike the trail again. We actually didn&#8217;t enjoy this section of the path very much.
