Overall thought: beautiful country, but why was this on my bucket list again?
Seriously though, I thought I was going to die at the 7mi point. Out of water, no fountains, I was overheated and dehydrated. The only place to sit was on the ground, but if I did that there was no guarantee I would stand up again.
I never quit.
I never called for a taxi, or caught a bus.
I made it to Neda.
Then I slept for an enternity. Woke up at 1930 and contemplated dinner, since all I had eaten was a few strawberries, some nuts, and a cliff bar. Said nope, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
I hope Day 2 is a bit more smooth. And I still need to find a poncho, or a bin liner, or something, because rain is still in the forecast for the next few days.
Anywho, here’s some photos from Day 1.

Pilgrim arrow! Pilgrim arrow!
When the tide is out……
No clue, but they’re cool looking. Reminded me of Harry Potter, tbh.
A hot pink house!
The church after a hideous hour of walking uphill
