Resting up - and another walker
Not joining me, another walked on another walk. Gosia mentioned this in the comments and I thought I’d give it a plug. A grandmother from Canberra is going to walk circuits around the Lennox Gardens over 42 days to reach a total of 1000 miles. Her cause is a charity aimed at helping the study of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, another hugely worthwhile cause.
If you’re in Oz, then perhaps pop by and give her some support and some cash! You can also donate via her website: www.1000milewalk.org.au.
Meanwhile, I’m resting my feet at Alessandro’s, not to far away from Giuliana’s for another night, perhaps two. Giuli is off to the beach with her folks from this evening and I hope their weather improves as it’s currently chucking it down. I’ll also be looking into some routes to take over the next stage of the walk as I think the one I’d banked on may be impassable.
Another quick thanks to the folks back home as well. People, your comments do help and your encouragement makes a hell of a difference. Especially to my dad for the email last night - thanks, Pop.
Finally, please recheck the older posts when you get a chance later today or tomorrow. Hopefully, I can use Alessandro’s setup here to upload some videos to YouTube…

Hi Iain! Have a good rest…. You sure deserve it. We’re watching your walk with interest from here in Hanoi. Look out for those blisters!

Thanks, Mike! Hoping that once the blisters go, my feet will be “tougher” and not get them again. At least not in the same places…

Keep those feet rested Mister and don’t push yourself so hard in future. Or else just go and buy some thicker socks. And go and buy some blister plasters - they really are worth their weight in gold.
*more hugs*

I think the blister situation will improve now my feet are “used” to the hard work. The large one on my left foot’s virtually gone, as has the one on my little toe.
Thinking of maybe setting off tomorrow evening as I *may* have accommodation just outside the city. We shall see. If not then, then the morning of the day after.

Mosh, your link to another nutter page doesn’t work. I presume it suppose to be that very mid age lady’s page.

Strange. Yes it it her page and the link works fine - I just tried it.
