The stolen fruit of the day – tasty plums and very nice they were as well. All the better for the crime.

The walking is easy these last few days . I think this is a combination of being out of the mountains and a greater level of fitness because of walking through said mountains.

I broke up what would have been a giant days walk tomorrow into 2 easy days and have no regrets.

I was walking winding country roads today. Crickets chirping as loud as I’ve ever heard even in Africa. I stopped to listen to them a few times.

Early on I had my morning coffee bought for me for the second day running. A nice bloke in a cafe saw the bag and felt moved to buy me a cup of java. Very kind.

I am now at a lovely B&B build pre revolution and oozing history. I think I will sleep well tonight.
