After a poor night’s sleep for Astrid and I due to an all night concert on the plaza next to our hotel, we headed off out of town on yet another chilly morning. Today’s route however was glorious with rolling hills, moor-like shrubbery and antique villages that were almost ruins as well as little traffic on the small road that ran beside the path we followed. The sky’s turquoise was only broken by blackened puffs of cloud we so rarely see in Dubai.
Astrid’s efforts, hampered yesterday by sore shins and Achilles were Amazonian today as she practically ran our final 6kms uphill with most of the contents of my rucksack in hers, while Quentin ensured I did not slip behind suffering from sore feet. We added an extra 6km to buy that extra day in Santiago and found comfortable accommodation in an inn in the small hamlet on the hilltop, which looks like it will provide the right sustenance tonight!
