There have been some glitches getting wifi sorted out, and I am struggling to get to grips wih renting a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen sitting room and t.v for only 20 euro . I have a balcony too with a view of the mountains. I am in the north part of Cadiar which sets me up well for a northerly start in the morning.
I should go to Narila first, then Bercrules, then Mecina Bombaron, and finally over some hills to Yegen. Strange names.
Whoever designed this route wants their head read. If they could see a hill they have gone over it. Follow a contour line? That's for suckers. Tomorrow I will ascend 1030m and descend 910m to give my poor suffering knees yet more pain. Tiday I ascended 615m and desended 1150m betwen Trevelez and Cadiar.
I think I will have climbed Kilimanjaro and maybe Everest by the time I get to La Calahorra - my ultimate destination. I am completely serious. I am keeping a record of all the ups and downs!!
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
