Started walking quarter past six this morning determined to get as much done as possible before it got too hot. The forecast for Huairou was 43 degrees C, and I was dreading it. I am about 45 kilometres northeast of Huairou, so don’t know if it was as hot here.
There was a breeze luckily. I walked a respectable distance before noon, and then sat down under some trees. There were plenty of blood sucking insects ready to have a go at me, so I put on the mosquito net again. (klegg, hestebrems og flekkflue) As the sun shifted, so did I to stay under the shade.
After three, it felt cooler, so I went on. At five, I got to a place where they had a guesthouse and served food. I had only eaten an instant noodle serving earlier in the day, and was starving! Had a dinner, and will have another soon.
