It has to be said that traveling like we are doing is not easy. Although we have done some great things and have made some funny memories, not every moment or even every day is great. It's tiring (although not worth stopping) and our systems, physically, emotionally, and mentally pay the price sometimes. Poor Jeff had a rough night with severe chills and possibly a fever, not to mention digestive issues... not fun when so far from home and you're sharing a bathroom with two other rooms (AND the toilet paper appears to be running out, so I guess we have to go get more? Not easy in th middle of the night... I was about to start counting sheets of kleenex in case I had to pee).
It's nearly 11am and Jeff's finally getting some quality sleep. I'm hungry but don't want to get up in case of waking him... What we do for love, eh?
Overall, our trip has been excellent but it just has to be said that it's not easy and although my blogs are mostly about the fun stuff, the other side exists too (like flooding the bathroom after taking a shower...urgh).
We haven't had the opportunity to talk with other travelers for nearly a week! Hopefully we find another youthful hostel like the one in Lisbon so we can meet some other people...or even just hear some English!
I'm not sure what our day is going to look like, it'll depend on how Jeff's feeling.
