Day 8 - Moving on

The constantly changing light of the sun through the trees was a delight as we continued along the narrow path through the hills.
The Henro Trail was well marked in the section. At every place where you could possible make a wrong turn, there was a sign like this with an arrow pointing the way. Too bad we don't have arrows like this to point the way in everyday life.
In some places the trees have fallen over, almost blocking the path. Someone has taken advantage of the horizontal tree trunk to hang a sign announcing that this is still the Henro Trail.
An amazing amount of work has gone into constructing and maintaining the trail. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to calculate the total cost of the trail in current dollars.
We left the hills and entered a flat valley full of farms. This part of the day was a bit of a struggle because the weather turned hot. We stopped at just about every drink machine to buy a couple of half liter bottles of sports drink. I was not sure about how effective this was since it added a kilogram to the weight we were carrying and caused me, anyway, to sweat freely.
