We were up at 3:30 this morning and on the road by 4:15. We started right out in front of the hotel I hurt my foot at last year. As we were walking, we could hear frogs croaking from the creek or canal that ran beside the road and by the time they quieted down, the bats started heading home and then the sun came up from behind the mountains.
We ate lychee as we walked and stopped for a real breakfast at 7:00. I was feeling pretty cocky that we had gotten 7.5 miles in before breakfast. By 9:00, it was blazing hot. The weather app on my phone said that it was 89 degree but that the “real feel” was 109. Tomorrow morning we are getting up at 2:30 and will start walking at 3:00 and hope to be back in a hotel before 10:00 am. It’s simply too hot to be outdoors.
We met some very nice student drivers who pulled over and gave us bottles of water and cans of Redbull. We took several photos and were on our way. Despite the heat, we are so happy to be back here among some of the kindest people in the world.

Oops! I wrote a reply, but forgot to hit submit. Here I go again.
The heat sounds awful, but your walking plan sounds like a good idea. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and cool off soon.
I just love your posts! I’ll be following you and Doug everyday. What an amazing adventure!
It must feel real good to be back and see the friends that you made. Almost like going home!

You always make the best of it! Dealing with that heat is brutal but then you make friends and take upside down pic!! Haha I’m just waiting for the little critter you usually find who will let you give a scalp massage!!

Thanks Krista. Gotta have a positive attitude, right?
Off you go 🙂 can’t wait to see what’s up around the next corner with you guys. I will stay tuned. Be safe and hydrate.
Very brave going back to that same hotel, when you know that the beds jump right out at you!
