I was awake from about 5am onwards and enjoyed once again looking out at the beautiful landscape and the sun creeping over the horizon. It had been a rough night and both my neck and back were giving me hell. At around 9:30am the bus attendant brought around cheese sandwitches, chocolate biscuits and warm drinks - luckily I had packed my own breakfast but the warm tea was a welcome treat. More movies were put on and I spent most of the morning dozing in and out o...

Today I was up early to say goodbye to Karina and thank her once again for her wonderful hospitality.

The temperature was perfect and there were many people around all with smiles on the face at another glorious day. I went looking for hiking clothes in a ...

The other Couchsurfer staying at Karina's was a bit sick and was going to spend the day in bed resting but first she wanted to go to the city and buy her bus ticket.

I went for a ...
