So not a lot to report on last night apart from lots of snoring, uncomfortable bed and lots of noise. I got up at 6 am again knowing it was a long day. Made quite slow progress and this needs to improve and it got hot super early and I mean Hottt!
You could fry an egg off the curb by 10 am. All I knew was I was uncomfortable, leaking sweat and the blisters were on fire. I was drinking water like it was going out of fashion had 3 litres by 10. By he scenery was beautiful but I had to focus on moving forward. There was still a long way to go and I was slow slow and leaking as quick as I drank it can out if me. I knew I was making shit decisions too and my pace was getting slower.
Clearly suffering from heat stroke I kept moving forward getting shade and drinks. I would like to tell you more but there are two hours I do not remember anything. I knew I was in trouble tho and stopped and ate and drunk everything I could get but I was dealing rough and had drunk 9litres of water but still have 6k to go. Today was supposed to be a 33k stage but I was at 33k with 6 more to go so someone was lying. I pushed on allbeit a bit delirious!
Long story short I made it feeling sick and melting but got in the albergue. Had a shower and drunk lots of water and iced tea.
Turned out it was 44 degrees today and it’s going to be just as hot tomorrow. I had actually walked 40k and need to do 37k tomorrow. But we shall see how I feel in the morning.
Very few delirious pics from today and a bonus video!
