Pfarrwerfen to a campsite near Radstadt

Tuesday

07:48: I was up at about 07:10: The sun was up at five, when I got up for a pee, but it’s only in the last few minutes that it’s risen above the mountain opposite and has started to dry my tent. It’s going to be a sunny day, thankfully. It’s cold and damp now though. I’m wearing three layers on top. I’ve brushed my teeth and washed my socks and I’m going to have bread, butter and honey for breakfast. I’m thinking of zipping in to Bischofshofen to the sports shop to see if they have compatible canisters.

€41.85 for three nights, a Hauspizza and a clothes wash.

09:00: Heading towards Bischofshofen for shopping and to try to get a new canister that works.

09:14: At the turn for Radstadt, but I’m not taking it yet.

09:23: SPAR. Also passing, for now.

10:31: Shopping done in SPAR. Cheese, bread, peanut butter. €7.17.

10:43: At the turn for Radstadt. That cost me 90 minutes.

16:43: Checked in. €9.00 per night.

18:02: Sitting down to dinner in the campsite restaurant. I want a lovely big dose of veggies, but none of the soups are vegetarian. I’ll just have the mixed salad. I could walk into town. In fact I think I will.

20:29: I had the mixed salad a drink and dessert. €15.30. Heading back to my tent now. I finished book one of the Deptford Trilogy and started book two. I feel like I’m going through the motions.

21:14: My right big toenail, the one that’s had the fungal infection for much of the journey, is falling off. It’s become detached from the nail bed and is only connected at the right edge. I’ll need to bring it to a pharmacy in the morning.
