Week 11

I am on Gran Canaria since monday, so these notes will be shorter. Days are intentionally blurry.

Happened

Had a holiday crush, but he left already, and he didn’t see any chance for us back in The Netherlands. This makes that I’ll enter my second week a bit sad, but I will survive.
All in all, I walked a lot. And with that I really mean a lot. The first day of 11km was already above average for me since I broke my foot, but after that I have never been below 12.5km, with three days close to 19km. The total is 106km.
Every day I try to keep walking to a minimum, but sitting in the hotel is terribly boring. I discovered the busses at some point (and the fact that they accept Apple Pay) but I still don’t seem to manage to keep the kilometers down. Even today when I tried to do everything by bus I managed to hit 10km.
My foot feels fine during the day, but and every morning it is a bit swollen and the first steps are very sore. Again: I really try to take more rest. Next week I’ll have a car for some days and I hope that helps the recovery while still being able to see the island.
