58 km
Everything is so late here. What bothers me most is that breakfast is so late. I was fine staying at the Foodland but when I wanted breakfast at 8 this morning they were not even open yet. So once again I did not get on the road until ten, when it had already started getting hot. It is nice being so far South that taking a cold shower on arrival is actually pleasant. But it is also getting really hot for several hours around mid day.
Rajapur is in a valley a bit inland from the coast. It is a very green and beautiful valley. It was pleasant cycling there. But going to Devgar I needed to head back west to the coast. Which meant back up on the arid plateu that runs some kilometers in from the coast itself. Up there it was very very hot, and hilly. And there was roadworks, dusty and bumpy. I could feel that my legs were tired from yesterdays longish day. When I finally got to Devgar and The Galaxy Hotel I was ready to be plucked. The manager showed me a suite with a terrific wrap-around balcony and fabulous view. It is 1200 Rs, that I was quite happy to pay. I have had two rather tough days cycling, and I have have not paid that much for my rooms lately, even though they have been fine.
