Saturday 21st of July 2012,
Decided to keep walking so of to Lanzahita, about 19km away .... but about half along main road ....
luckily traffic is light .... but not a lot of room on the verge .... so walk towards the traffic and keep alert for cars that may be passing coming from behind. As its the country and quite beautiful, its very quiet and you can here the traffic coming from a long way off. It reminds me of the country back home down Gippsland way .... but its looking a tad parched and yellow, as it hasn't rained once since I have been back. Don't think I have even seen a cloud in the sky.
Made Lanzahita about midday, feeling dry and parched  myself .... first beer did not touch the sides, this bar had a courtyard out the back with lots of shade, very pleasant .... were I'm staying tonight is about 100m down the road so handy. Ended up falling asleep at the table .... bewildered I awake being nudged by the waiter with my lunch in hand. A late night, a walk in the sun and a couple of beers went right to my head ..... well some yummy food and a bottle of mineral water and I am back to normal.
So off to my accom and an afternoon siesta.
A restaurant a couple of doors down looks interesting for diner ... so I enter, waiter tells me they are booked out for the evening ... but the place is empty ... I look around and indicate to the empty tables.
He tells me they arrive after 10.30 maybe even 11pm or later .... its now 9pm  ... he shows me to a table  ... I have an hour and a half to eat! Get a bottle of red wine, had chicken livers, then the most magnificent porterhouse steak and am out in time for there normal service. So of down to the bar were its very noisy, got a beer but didn't stay long as was odd man out tonight. So back to my room and catch up with blog and other emails and think about tomorrows walk.
