Something Feels Different Today (0km)

---

Oh what a glorious feeling it was to sleep in, although tempered somewhat by the barking in my hamstrings from yesterday's extended climb. At 9:00 it is already 23 degrees with a forecast high of 35 - thankfully our hotel 'room' (somewhat of a misnomer, as there isn't very much) is air-conditioned.

While our laundry tumbled next to the gas pumps I sent postcards on their way, picked up gifts for those at home, and meandered through the village streets before returning to the hotel to swap out my now badly-worn chain. Now I think I'll go for a dip in the pool. Ah, the life of leisure when you don't have to bearthe heat and wind for a day.
