Day 588 28th February 2018
27 miles (Itagua to Massaguaca) Average speed 10.4mph Top speed 38mph
A good day back in the sunshine. I had considered staying another night but chose to push on.
I was up at 8 and with nothing to eat I just had tea with my new powdered milk, which was not great, but at least it got me going. I packed up and said goodbye to Cima the kitten and the hostel owner from Qatar, plus the two brothers I’d shared a room with. I headed out of town and onto the Praia Grande where I bought pate and bread for brekkie with tomatoes I already had and enjoyed them on the beach.
Breakfast on the beach
Then it was time for some big climbs. The first was tough in the heat but when I made it to the top there were lots of people filling up with fresh water from a spring so I joined in and filled my bottles and had a good wash. It was as ever worth the climb to enjoy a great run down with no traffic passing me. I’d been stuck in a long queue of cars behind some lorries but they’d all gone by now. There were some great views out over the sea.
Fantastic view over the sea
Camping el shaddai massaguaca free!!!
All I need to do is give them a mention on spc and Facebook.
