21 miles and nearing our first 100!

Sam had his rest day and now does feel better. I walked a total of 21 miles -I am so pleased with myself. The walking was really enjoyable in Wexford town and all (and I mean all) the surrounding areas. It does help when you have interesting things to look at. The countryside suddenly appears as you leave the town. I walked along the banks of the River Slaney and crossed over the other side. A few pics capturing the scenes, the first one rather unexpected, I bet you never knew Wexford was so exotic!!

Met some really nice people en route, some offering a donation. Kept going really all day. I hadn't realised I was so tired until I starting talking (or trying to) to a lady who started up a conversation on my way back to the hotel. My voice sounded really weird, all jittery as if there was no energy to produce the sounds. She must have thought what a weirdo, had the attractive walking hat on(in normal circumstances wouldn't be seen dead in), sunglasses, several layers of suncream and luminous covering on my rucksack.

After a shower and bath went to the hotel bar for early diner. I was starving but could only manage a tiny amount, body has done enough today - bodes well for the weight loss. Spent evening emailing and preparing for tomorrow. An early night calls. Feel tired but very pleased with myself. Feet rather blistered and there is Compeed covering large areas but all else seems ok, at this stage.

We have now covered 91 miles in 5 days. Sam will walk the 100th tomorrow on his way out of Wexford to Wellington Bridge. He is going to walk an extra 4 miles since we are 4 miles behind schedule.
