When I say the trail was a bit wet.... - PA072398

We found this abandoned Jeep and a fire made of camping chairs. Someone had a bad afternoon... - PA072463
He stopped about a hundred yards after the clunk, though - PA072477.JPG

When we got to the hostel, it became clear that Roni's pannier had failed in some way that meant yesterday's leftovers had been eaten by his rear tyre - PA082511
Yesterday the panniers needed readjusting, today they were reconstructed - PA072456.JPG
