text: The way to Wangla is not long but it leads up and down although it keeps on the whole to one slope.

As just then there was some sunshine I took the long way around to the Ang's house, hoping to get some photographs of the hill with the menhirs, but just when I arrived the sun disappeared behind the clouds. But as the weather is so uncertain I returned to the place again later and indeed I could take two pictures with some sunshine
