Yesterday I slept with the foxes and today I ate with the rabbits. I pushed on through the elements and then walked through the door of Hotel de Desierto. Such a stark contrast – I’ve walked from the cold howling winds into 5 star luxury.
Dinner with a view
I was as warm as toast last night. I made sure I’d set up the tent, cooked and eaten before sunset. A fox was interested in my food.
The fox wanted my food
I wrapped up to the maximum to warm up, and an hour later, I was too warm and was able to regulate the temperature nicely. Lunch was in a rocky area with very convenient protection from the wind. I wasn’t alone. The rabbits were out and keen to take my lunch.

And the road. Expecting a diabolically bad road, I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to cycle most of the time, only pushing around 30% of the time. The wind remained fierce and blowing directly against the way I wanted to go. My spirits were high after yesterday. I’ll check the road ahead and see what tomorrow brings.
