Some long days of late due to a Golden Week with everything pretty much shut down these last two days. I'm thinking I'd like to chill out tonight, so will post a few photos from the day. You can try to figure them out!
Weary feet rest here,
The kindness of a village
Such care from warm hearts.
Very interesting photographs! A hallucinatory day, it seems. I'm guessing the oranges are ossetai?
ReplyDeleteHow long was the long day? You must be exhausted.
Hope the weather holds for you. Keep going!

Duh, 35 km--it's in the title for the day. 36, then 35--very tiring.
DeleteI'm also hoping you get a shorter day--maybe not possible since it's the week of the Buddha's birthday.

Exactly! I'm not walking these distances in this type of terrain because I want to. I'm walking them because it's the holiday week and not speaking the language it was difficult to find lodgings closer together. I'm meeting others with the same issue. Then there are those who fearing this week booked from home before coming here, making the situation more difficult. I'll be able to shorten stages most of the time after today. The highest climb on the route today and its hot, that almost tropical sun that can fry you. Different than the hot Spanish sun. Any way. Time to get on with my day. Thanks for the support!
DeleteHi Geoff. It is said that " A picture is worth a thousand words "!!! That said, I tried to apply that saying to your blog this morning but it missed your travelogue description of what you actually saw as you took the picture. The "booty" of the day showed up quite nicely and you really did well with the oranges - 8 of them. I am sure there is a story there.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good rest last night and are ready to carry on bright and early today - which I suspect is what you are in process of doing right now as I type this message.
Stay strong.
Dad
The dirt fields with people was a type of golf game. The osettai was in the hut from the village for any walker who stopped. Very welcome!
