DAY THIRTY THREE.. 21.61 miles (34.8 km)
A short and easy ride to a hotel just 37km away. We’ve decided against a herculean journey up the ghats (hills) to Phulbani, and, instead are just resting. We’re confined to barracks as there is a wedding party going on in the hotel and Tim and I cannot bear the idea of more conversations.
Today we passed through many small villages, in one a market was in full swing; vegetable stalls and all sizes of river fish. The area is becoming more hilly again as we enter another region of mountains. Tomorrow it is “up, up, up” and then, hopefully, “down”.
