Day 8 Rest day in Cuenca

Friday August 13th was our first rest day and it was spent doing various things.  Getting some well needed laundry done, going for a walk around town, eating all our meals out - the crew are of duty as well on rest days = and for those of us with PC's catching up on all sorts.

I also asked Didier, our nurse, if he could get me something for a very tight chest.  He got two tablets from the chemist (you can buy tablets singularly over here) and they solved the problem over the next 24 hours.

Having a real coffee in the morning was a treat as well as a superb ice cream sundae!!

The laundry gave us all problems as the hotel staff managed to mix up, or loose bits of our kit.  Luckily I made a list of what I had put in my bag and eventually I was reunited with all my kit.

Other times of the day we were all discussing the following two days on the road, both over 100K and both involving a lot of climbing.  Remember we are already over 2000 metres up before we add on any climbing metres!!
