Today's miles 0. AT miles 1812.2
Two days off in a row, so nice, we could get used to this. We did actually manage a lie in until 8am today and had a later but another lovely breakfast in the hotel. They also serve breakfast to non guests, this place has a good reputation and is always busy, there was a small queue of people waiting to come in when we left. I took advantage of a spare day and got my hair cut and coloured at a hairdressers across from the hotel, five months of grey hair growth all gone for a few weeks! Nigel hadn't moved when I got back, he was still laid on the bed watching TV.
The rain forecast was light in the morning but got heavier after lunch. We were glad we weren't out on that Mountain ridge. We went to Cascades coffee house just down from the hotel and had toasted sandwiches for lunch then back to the hotel for an afternoon snooze again. I gave my good old leather boots a bit of TLC, conditioning the leather with some Vaseline lip balm (that's all I had). They'll last me the rest of the trail hopefully.
In the evening we went to a Greek restaurant. Sat in a window seat we saw a beautiful little hummingbird, they had nectar feeders hanging outside the windows. Lovely food again, I had a Spanakopita, a traditional spinach and cheese pie and Nigel had a seafood pie with a glass of Greek red wine to wash it down. We feel like we've eaten loads the last couple of days, we're feeling quite stuffed but making the most of it. Well be back in those mountains tomorrow eating our dried packet trail food. Our legs and knees still feel just as stiff, maybe even a bit stiffer, when getting going again after sitting or lying down after our two days rest. We keep wondering how long after we finish the trail will it take for our legs to feel normal again with no daily stiffness?
