Day 34

We arrived in the tropics

What a hot day! Today the tropical temperatures and the strong sun resulted in a pretty bad sunburn. Unfortunately, I had to fight the headwind all day long again. Despite these circumstances I did just over 300 km: It was a really strong day.

Since I had perfectly organized police protection on my route today too, Viki, Sami and Kerstin could take care of washing and shopping in Villahermosa. The area we are moving through is extremely shady and dangerous. So we were happy when the whole team could finish the day together.

A military station served as our overnight location. We would have waited too long for the next police escort and knew we were safe there, so we decided to stay close to the soldiers.

The weather today clearly shows what it has to offer in the rainy season. Violent flashes illuminated the clouds next to us every second. I move through a breathtaking scenery at the moment.
