Our journey is coming to an end … almost! More than 900km are done, less than 300km to be walked. We’re in the final stretch of our hike. And we can feel it 😮‍💨 My feet are slowly dissolving (whatever that means to you) and so are my shoes. Bruno’s back is hurting. The temples are becoming less interesting. Writing Polarsteps is becoming a task, just like taking our mandatory selfies at the temples.

But (big BUT) we accept the challenge! These feelings, this ‘low’, it’s all part of the journey 👣 Next Monday we will finish and be missing the time spent outside, our random conversations, the kindness of strangers, the exhaustion and maybe even the temples (big MAYBE here) 😝

No more emotional 🦀, back to our day: what a lazy day! Because we ‘only’ had 15km to walk, we decided to take a detour and go to the beach in the morning. Unfortunately the beach was very much concrete and bushes and no sand so we had to skip that part 🥲 After visiting our 3 temples for today we passed the time until check-in at different Kombinis or supermarkets 🛒 Tonight’s accommodation is a really cool place, owned by a young family who built it themselves 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Cheers!
