Reisadalen part 2, 23km

Made my way out of the Reisa valley. It was demanding to say the least. The opposite of what I had expected. It’s an amazing valley with vegetation you just wouldn’t expect up there.

Went for #2 the second time that day (what a relief!) and since I’m about to run out of toilet paper I decided to try that trail bidet for the first time. And what shall I say? It was a success. It’s an amazing feeling of freshness and cleanliness. Just be sure to not make the same mistake as I did and use it while you’re still sitting over your own poop…
