Thursday, 9th of May 2013 - day 79
Up early, its a bright sunny day, energy finally coming back. With breakfast and coffee settling we are off and walking. The country is pretty well treeless, gently undulating and warm going. Its going to be quite hot today, up around the high 20's - low 30's. It takes about 3 hours to get to Casar de Caceres, which is where we will stay as its quite a distance to the next accommodation place. we covered about 12 km today, enough for me, as I am feeling a bit worn by the time we sit and enjoy a pre-lunch beer. There is a tree lined lake in the town and we buy some goodies from the shop and have a picnic on the shore, picnic tables abound. Its pleasant, shaded and we relax and enjoy. The shop is but 30m away for cool drinks etc. Then off to book in and clean up and wash the dust off, everything dries in no time as its very warm now. Back to the lake and a bit of a siesta in the shade ..... diner and an early night.
