After the storm, I realized I was missing my hat. I had to go searching for it. Lucky for me, I found it about 50m in a field caught up on some grass. The wind had blown it off the bike.

All of my panniers, the bike and worst of all the chain were coated in a sandy mud that was blown up and onto the bike in the storm. Even though the bike was under cover, it got everywhere. We had to do some maintenance and clean the chains and wipe down the bikes, but the panniers need to get a thorough cleaning – later.

We got to our destination at a service station and I found out that there was a hotel there (Guille wasn’t telling me about it ). So I got the room. We showered, did laundry and promptly crashed for a three hour siesta.

It was a good day and we had favorable winds after I asked Gouchito Gil for winds against my back.
