the craziness of day 29, in all the gory detail...

Woke up very cold (being so high up and with only the inner layer of our tent up). We had quite a slow start due to Matt hiding Claire´s stuff. Claire subsequently became grumpy and channeled this into furious cycling (really speedy... no stopping... even for bakeries... Matt finding this very tough).
So we did 70 miles in 5 1/2 hours!!!!! then... the campsite we were aiming for closed last year, so we decided to stop - and eat lots of yoghurt. Claire fell asleep on a concrete bench, and Matt stared at his maps.
Once we had livened up enough, we did 5 more hot sweaty miles to the nearest hostel, where a strange lady greeted us, and finally gave us the room we wanted. Sleep was very easy!
