Walking Troubles

Walking troubles

I ended up this day with 27km. I really did not want it. Just to far.
After Samera I took my new flipflops on. Some km later I switched again to the old ones.
At the end of the day I had again some blisters, but at some more ‚comfortable place‘, I could just puncture it and let the water out.
And.. .. a had a sirous sun burn at my lower legs. In the morning I had rolled up my trousers, because of muddy street in Barbigha. Ever though the sun did not come out really, somehow she came through.

All my little injuries and the much to long walk took me to another rest day.

Half way staying in Mokama I realized that it was so super close to Mother Ganga. Less than 2km and I could see the calm muddy looking holy river. A shepard with his buffaloes took a bath. Not to much rubbish at the river bed. I sat down for a while. Hmmm

Next morning I am fit.
Maybe I need to change my rhythm in this hot humid monsoon climate.
Today I got up at 5am for meditation (a little earlier is even better)
7.30 am leaving the hotel.
2 pm I reached the next hotel ( this hotel is really nice. Its 700 Rupies/9€ and almost clean)
After organising myself – to the market to by fruits and nuts – shower – washing the sweaty clothes – writing the blog – eating a bit – not finished with all at 5.30pm – rest – evening meditation at 8pm – sleep at 9pm….. maybe that could be the structure…?!

I crossed today the Ganga last time in this journey. I will walk northeast from here. The Ganga flows east towards Bangladesh (later south towards the Ganga Delta)
There is now joy in my heart and body to do this walk. Only with my feet I have to take some more patience. And…. it will come to a good result….
