    The day started early at 6 when we went out for the town ahead. But already after half an hour the humidity was crazy and we were sweating as hell. The other thing was that mentionable about the morning were those freaking crazy bugs. They stay for about 3-5 seconds right before your face before they kamikaze right into your eye!!!
    Anyways, we just hiked on and tried to ignore the weather and the bugs. Which went pretty well, actually so well that we missed the Shelter where we wanted to have lunch :) So we ended up at a viewpoint about two miles after the Shelter. And it was an amazing view and a great place to stay. We had the pleasure of two other thru hikers and almost forgot about the time while chatting on that rock (The place is actually called High Rock... How creative). And they told us about the hiker feed later that day at the church :)
    A short hike later we ended up at the local hotel and more specifically at its bar. A well deserved, delicious and cheap beer... And another one ;) Unfortunately I encountered that I had lost my passport but at that moment there wasn't much I could do.
    Then it was already time for the hiker feed and it was amazing!!! Spaghetti Bolognese with Parmesan, fresh salad, fresh fruits and ice cream. Of course I overate and could barely move afterwards. And Julia was tired, so were glad that someone told us about the "hostel" in the basement of the pastors house in another church. There were only four other hikers there and we had a necessary shower and WiFi :)
