I slept well, but then came the unexpected wake-up call at three in
the morning, when the caretakers decided it was the perfect time to
water the lawn. I jolted awake, thinking I was in the middle of some
torrential downpour! After a few moments of confusion, I figured out
what was going on, but by then, my tent was already drenched.
When I finally emerged from my sleeping bag, the sun was shining,
and miraculously, everything dried out quickly. As for my day ahead,
it promised to be incredibly beautiful. I chose the scenic route rather
than the main road that veered inland. It was hilly and challenging,
but every climb was rewarded with breathtaking views that made the
effort worthwhile. I found myself struggling up steep inclines before
hurtling down the other side at breath-snatching speeds. Villagers
would call out “chai, chai!” as I sped past them, only slowing down
when I faced the next demanding ascent.
The D010 highway once again turned inland, but I was determined to
stick to the coast. Later I arrived in the charming town of Unye and
with a desperate need for a shower, I caved in and booked a hotel.
My choice was a lovely little place that exuded charm, and I fell in
love with its quaint, old-fashioned setup. What a delightful way to end
a day on the road!
