58 km
I had intended to have another rest day at Ganpatipule. But then I could not get a room at Kapil lodge where I wanted to stay. I got a room nearby, OK but not as good. There was quite a bit of noise early this morning. I don't know if it was the family or other guest leaving early. Anyway people talking loudly just outside my room much too early. I decided to leave after breakfast. My cycling clothes was only half dry from laundry when I put them on.
Oddly enough I felt much more tired today than yesterday. It seems the long ride up to Ratnagiri only hit me today, despite yesterdays half day, and lots of good food.
There was a ferry crossing before noon, between Jaigad and Navsai. Then cycling through real rural Konkan landscape. Sweet villages and nice people. I managed to avoid the nasty gravel road, but it was very hot through much of todays riding. Road conditions varied.
Some 4 kms before Guhagar I found a good dhaba at a road crossing. I had a good plate of chicken Schezhuan and washed it down with bottled mango juice and mineral water, well chilled. At Guhagar I decided to go back to the guest house I stayed at last time. It is a good place but I am a bit concerned about he nearby mosque starting their calls to prayer so early.
