Zariquiegui to Maneru

Ed’s longest day of waking today 18km. It was easy enough until after lunch when we had longish steep uphill with no shade in blasting sun. I think Ed was a bit dehydrated, he had a headache.

There is a photo of Ed there, probably a bit hard to see. Even the little downmarket supermercado was in a historic stone building.
