Day 13

Once again my bed was very nice and almost privet.  I think my body has adjusted to the jet lag thing in that I am actually dreaming while I sleep.  But wouldn't you know it my second good nights sleep in a roll and some fool alarm goes off at 3:00 and it took him a good sixty seconds to find it to shut it off. After I got saddled up I came out of the room and there on the table was orange juice muffins and milk.  I'm thing yes a pilgrims breakfast, so I start taking my back pack off and some German as nice as he can be and in as good as he can speak English tells me he ordered it for his party.  I tried the best I could to put the wrapper back on the muffin but it wasn't working for me.  He said, ok ok go go and laughed.  So the Germans just came  two notches on my opinion pull. Hummmm I wonder if he noticed the juice.

Left the Alberque in the dark bu had a good idea where to start heading to cut trail.  Fox were barking owls were hooting but other than that just dark in the forest.  More by accident then good timing I looked down and seen the "yellow arrow" I was on the right track.  The sun came up in the east as it always does and I found my breakfast of a egg buddy and three cokes.  The sandwich was suppose to have some ham on it but it was cut so thin that it could of been left over from a biopsy, so I won't count the meat as being there.  The trail wasn't a bad hike on the ol feet for the most part but it did take me one bottle of water to get to the next village.  I could see the fountain spilling water and I am thinking refill.  As I get to the fountain their is a red international sign that basically said some one peed on the pool.......don't drink here.  I moved on with an empty bottle, but still lesson learned I had two on the side.  In the next village I found lunch of ready made sandwich and you know what else coke.

With no shade and no place to really rest I just kept on the move.  People that had passed me were now passing me again.  Several Japanese past me with leggons and long sleeve shirts and scarves on their heads.  I wonder what they know about the heat that I don't.  On any case they seemed to just go along.  Walked into Belorado in good time and go a room in a very nice Alberque.  They serve dinner here as well as breakfast.  They have a laundry so I thought that I best take advantage of it.  A lady in front of me pulled a pillow a sleeping bag loner and a weeks worth of wash for the machine.  Little did I know but that she broke it.  I put my cloths in and my 3e, it washed but never spun them dry.  So I wung them by hand and set them on the fence to dry.  At dark I will put them on the dryer just to make sure.  While in the laundry Peter the doctor from Australia came in he caught up with me from a couple of days ago.  Seen one lady walking in flip flops, and another in socks, just because their feet were shot.  As for me my feet are holding up but I am concerned about my boots.  In side corner on the right is wore off.  It doesn't surprise me what with the terrain being what it has been.  

Tomorrow will be a short day in that I need to do three mountains in one day.  No food, no water, so I my plan is to go for it fresh...no choice in the matter.

Just had dinner with Peter and two of his friends....he is single, rich and good looking, so you know who I had at the table.  Oh I forgot....Peter had to sleep in a barn last night in that all the Alberques were full.  Another reason I just keep going.......

Lesson for today:  make sure the fountain works before you dump your old water.
