My walk is getting close to its end. The village is right up from the road, and all that is left is climbing the hill. If you go back to picture 10, you can see a road down in the valley. This picture is from that road. You can also see some asphalt in the foreground of that picture; it is the same road that is climbing the mountain. When I arrived to the point where I took picture 10, I left the road, to make the shortcut straight up to the village, despite I knew that it would be difficult to bring the bike with me. As a matter of fact, I was that tired that I eventually just left the bicycle in the shrubs, walked into the village and got a seat in a bar. Oh, how absolute marvellous that bottle of mineral water was! When I had recovered a little, I went back to pick up the bike. When I later returned it, it turned out that the back wheel was also getting a flat tyre!

I spent the rest of day drinking all sorts of drinks – mineral water, granizado, Coke, juice – to restore the water level of my body.
