Unfortunately the cough did not get better overnight and moreover I also got a sore throat and my voice did not sound too good. Oh well. I have some medicine from back home but once I am in town I definitely need to get more stuff. I took an ibuprofen as well and prayed I would survive another hot day. Stefi woke up with a headache and what seemed to be a great cowboy camping spot turned into a whirlwind at night. It got really windy so everything was pretty dusty in the morning. Since we got some reception we organized a trail angel for Saturday and Monday where we plan on doing a nero in Chester. After an hour of hiking we ran into a cooler with ice cold sodas! Another trail magic. How nice. We enjoyed a good bubbly orange soda (like fanta) and then continued. It was another hot day (yeah I know it’s summer) so going up took me some time especially with the cough and sore throat. 

After a short lunch break and a nap – I like them when I am sick – we had to continue since we were on a schedule to get into Chester in three days. There was yet another “lovely” climb that made us sweat like crazy and then it was mostly downhill. Once we got to a water source we decided to camp there because the spots looked nice. However, mosquitoes were present so we set up our tents. For dinner I just had some ramen noodles since I wasn’t so hungry with the sore throat. My voice got a bit worse towards the evening so after we finished our dinner it was time to go to sleep. Praying I will get better tomorrow.
