Nice noisy sleep in the home! Rock hard beds, getting spooned by Timon didn't help :) Hit the road at 7.15 after breakfast. 23km walk today. Amazing views as per again. Around half 10 Laura and Azem joined us which was good! Carried on walking went to a local lady's workshop she makes bags, scarves and hats. Takes 3 days to make one bag and she gets around 2 quid for it on the market. Crazy. Went for lunch in this random house in a small village again the food wa...

Missed the sunrise due to clouds but caught some of it so went back to the hostel. My crap e-bike got a puncture on the back tyre on the way back luckily ...

Had breakfast best sleep had in a while as well here. First thing I had to do was get this mosquito bite on my leg checked out.
