Uphill

Today has been a beautiful walk, mainly uphill, through woods where at times I felt like the only person in the world. Which of course means there were very few walkers and the cafe that had been earmarked for breakfast was shut. The first stretch was really steep, but after brief chat with my friends from Fuengirola, I met a really nice woman from Kazakhstan and had an interesting conversation that distracted me from the hill. It is really rural now, lots of farms, with the usual foal and mare, and very large hills (mountains) as a backdrop. We are now in Salas, in a dutch run hostel where they serve veggie food. The room is really cosy, nice beds with duvets and hot water bottles. 20 euros a night each. We have been sitting talking to David, who is from near Shefield and who has been walking for 20 years a d is 76. Hope I canstilldo it then!
