Day 125: Blackberries instead of water

Not much to write about today. It was cool and overcast but stayed dry. Again, hiking was mostly in the forest, with only a short open part in the afternoon, before Kotel.

I got the first water after noon, and thus ate tons of blackberries - so many, that it even resembled my lunch ;)

It was crazy early, when I suddenly reached the first houses before Kotel. So I decided to walk at least a little bit further into a pine forest above town to set up my tent. Not great, I can hear roads, party music and there is obviousely a sheep flock grazing in the pine forest, but so far they didn't cross my tent spot. But I can hear their bells close by!

I passed a sheep flock today, but it was sooo relaxed. There were only two dogs, that were as surprised as me, when we saw each other after I popped out from behind a hedge. All they did was bark, and thats it!

It's so wired, that I did so little walking and have so much time today. I was thinking about continuing, since there is a good chance, the stores might be open, but it would have been a little stressful. On the map, it looks like there is no forest directly on the other side of town to camp. Plus, I might stretch my hike anyways, since I'm still having no idea, what I do after the Kom Emine trail. Hiking to Nepal doesn't make sense to me anymore without a continuous route ...

So many ripe and huge blackberries! I guess I spent at least 1-1.5 h picking them

Open area for a change

Finally water!!!
