Bit of a struggle today.

Now I know how good my tent looked in my last blog but unfortunately I failed to consider the rising sun. My spot was possibly the last place to get the sun.

I did unfortunately make an error, Brett warned me but I ignored him (as usual) I do realise he is invariably right. I took my closer to summer travel quilt, he told me the winter one would be better. But less bulk always seems to win in my head. Suffice to say I have been shivering at night.

I got sorted and was on the road at 9.30, immediately stopping for coffee then get some food supplies. Fully loaded I was on my way.

Bit of industry, bit of agriculture, lots of lemons, lots of cherry blossom, an abundance of olive trees.

Some of the hazyness is caused by sweat on the lense.

Only road I said. It was rough snd not used for ages but komoot used it as a short cut between roads.

But it caused this because of a small olive tree stuck me

The last 15kms was up, I had to stop multiple times, not because of unfitness, but the pain from the saddle is excruciating, these things are sent to tey us.
