??”Oh Yeah, It’s Raining Again” ?? I suppose a suitable way to end the trekking experience this time in keeping with the theme of the week. But we did manage to complete our days trek before the rain set in?. Today we hiked over 22 km along a well maintained gravel path with very little elevation change. I feel great – no knee issues and no plantar fasciitis pain, so I’m very pleased.
We were meant to follow the salt water pipeline today, but it was under repair. Fortunately the alternate route was easily accessible and followed a similar path.
We have all started to mull over our next excursion. Ideas include Japan, Nova Scotia / Maritime provinces in Canada, Madagascar, Sicily (with cooking school intertwined as a consideration), and Alaska. Research is needed on cost and availability. Biking was also put forth as an option – everything on the table right now.
By 9 pm most had packed it in but D&S and Michael & I stayed playing cards and drinking a schnapps and beer till about 10:30.
And so the formal trekking is over ?. Tomorrow we head to Salzburg where Mike & I have our own spot, D&S have theirs and the others have a shared B&B, but all are reasonably nearby accommodations. It will be Dan’s 60th birthday on Oct 12, and Sue has hers the next day so we will all get together at the Aussie/American abode for a potluck party.
