Day 3 - 49.1 km in bright sunshine & including 7 Dutch hills

Today, the 3rd day, started off as if I had wings.
The sunrise was astonishingly beautiful- such that I decided to enjoy it properly during my breakfast, sitting with my back to the road where all walkers passed by.




Before I realised, nearly half of the walk was completed.

Lovely company along the way, Israelian Haim, who everybody will recognize as he carries a very big flag on his back.


 
Then, the sun started splitting the stones and even though there was some wind, it got soooo hot!




The 7 hills were tough because of that heat... It took me a long time to cross them; I had to take a good few breaks!


Very very busy on the Berg en Dal road, and utterly delighted I made it to the finish! I learned that over 900 people droppes out today, which is very high!


Last day tomorrow!  Another tough day, no hills... But these legs are starting to hurt at this stage - but glory is now only 50 km away!!
