Can’t believe it took me 3.5 hours to walk 11.5kms, that’s terrible. But then the first 4.1kms were all uphill. The hotel was halfway up a very steep hill, so as soon as you walked out the door, it was…

Santo Domingo to Belorado Misplaced myself a little bit on the way out of town this morning. As soon as you stop seeing the way-markers you know you are off course. I knew I wasn’t far off and was lucky…

I was surprised to feel as good as I did although my calves were so tight (they’re feeling like large golf balls) and anything resembling downhill was painful. My breakfast is included in the price of the hotel and I’m…
