I’m going to pick up on the end of yesterday’s blog. Carla and I are energized by all the love, care, concern, interest, support and encouragement we’ve been getting from the family and friends who have taken an interest in our journey. Your support reaches across oceans and continents- most powerful. We are somewhere close to the half way mark (not keeping close track beyond the next day’s challenge) and your individual and collective support, be it comments to the blog, text messages, emails, prayers or following our journey, give us strength to overcome our aches, pains and fatigue. You guys really help. Thank you all.

Tonight we are staying in a converted monastery built in the 10th century. This is the view from our room
