Day 104, 78km: by Chris

Come morning my left ear-lobe was swollen and Amy's right eye was puffed up as though she'd been punched. The culprits were still trying to escape our room, struggling to stay airborne with abdomens bulging with stolen blood.

The scenery has not changed and it is dead flat. Lunch was eaten in another roadside shelter where a woman stopped to give us 20 green bananas still attached to half the banana tree.

 

Bananas are heavy until they ripen. This will be a good weapon if attacked by dogs.

 

 This means I'm going to be lugging them around for days and days until they ripen, but free bananas are always gratefully received in any state they might be presented.

We found a cheap motel in the evening where I sat bunged up and snotty with a cold, feeling sorry for myself.
