DAY 97 — Thursday, Jul 28, 2016
The top picture says it all: I walked at least 36 km (22.5 mi) yesterday. And with breaks including lunch, it took me about 10 hrs. I overestimated. So, what did I get for that effort, and worse, for not making a reservation ahead of time? I found all my places closed or no answer on the telephone, and a nearby hotel with no vacancy. Luckily, the only other hotel was available but I had to walk another two km just beyond town. And it's back to the heel brace on the other foot for an Achilles tendon problem. You'd think by the 97th day, I wouldn't make all these mistakes.
On the brighter side, the farmers' creativity had me laughing along the way. And, yes, tomorrow will be a much shorter day!
