Woke up around 6. Rolled around for a while and finally got up and slammed two yogurts and a dry crust of bread from last night. I was hungry but couldn’t bring myself to eat last nights dinner (tuna and olives) bleck not at 6am.

Headed out around 730 am. It’s still dark then. Moments later the Iceland peeps came up behind me! And we strolled along together again.

Today was supposed to be 13 miles but because we went extra yesterday, it was only 11 for me today.

More strolls through cute quiet towns and grape farmlands. Side note- a lot of things I read said don’t bring this or that because there are shops. Well literally those shops are always closed even if the sign says it’ll be open – idk when and how people make money.

Today’s highlights were a dope food truck blasting American tunes that had beer on draft mid way and a little old lady playing the accordion

I got in at noon. The Icelandic peeps kept going but I figured today was my “rest day” before tomorrow’s beast.

The pension I’m staying at today is super nice with free laundry and a kitchenette! 

So showered, laundered – passed out for two hours. Figured I should go get something to eat bc I’ve barely eaten today. 

Op- everything’s closed of course till 5pm. Found a hole in the wall pizza shop with some overripe fruit and got a slice with a peach. 

Then I forced myself to do 34min of yoga. Man I should’ve done that earlier. So hard to get up and do it though. All you want to do is flop around.

After yoga – Set out to find a supermarket. Eating out gets old because it’s all like carbs and fried and bleck after a while. I got some chicken stuffed with spinach and provolone and broccoli with a thing of bread. €8 total

Came home to cook it and thennnn wasn’t hungry again. Idk why I have like the worst appetite right now. Thinking maybe it’s the spider bite meds I’m taking.

Oh I also finally found an open pharmacy and got some cream for this wretched bite. Confounded thing. Tomorrow I’m going to try to wake up at 5ish and leave around 6 bc it starts to get hotttt at 12pm and I have 17.25 miles tomorrow 😳
