Warm January in Kerala (and a bit of Karnataka) (page 3 of 3)

Yeah, but it's not for right away... You're still in great shape! I'm afraid you might find this kind of trip pretty boring... For now, keep exploring Asia... We're following your journey...

No, no, Anne, you’ve got to get moving so you don’t get stuck in a rut. You took a break this year, but it’s time to get back into the swing of things. I can speak from experience—I walk between 10 and 15 km a day, which went up to 25 km in Thailand, and I’m in great shape. I’m sure I’m much older than you...

P.S.: The first pages of my travel journal are written. Just need to proofread, and I’ll publish tomorrow. It’s midnight here, and I’m going to bed. Normally, I go to sleep at 9 PM since I wake up at 4 AM to start walking in the cool air at 6 AM. So, no walk tomorrow!

Today, it was 38°C in the apartment. The AC can’t keep up. And there was a power cut for almost two hours. I think it’s to save energy because all the ACs must be running full blast everywhere. Tough stuff!

Yes, I’m still in good shape, but I’ve given up some activities—or at least I do fewer of them. I hike much less in my beloved Pyrenees. Before, I’d overtake other hikers; now I lag behind, and I no longer trample the summits—I just look at them. For me, that’s a sign, but I still hike a little, and that’s what matters. When it comes to travel, it’ll be the same: I’ll settle for strolling along the sea. It’s just as nice, and the main thing is being able to enjoy it.

Wasn’t it too hot in Thailand? Because it’s tough to do long walks in that kind of heat. At the end of January in Gokarna, it was really hot, and we still went for walks... but with lots of breaks afterward! 😊
