Hard camping
We headed for a campsite in the Iya valley this evening after much cycling into a stiff headwind today, but on arrival we were told the campsite was closed and the glamping there now was fully reserved. They suggested a campsite 14km further on, but it was already getting dark and our legs were tired.
We've pitched our tents at a viewpoint, on concrete, tying some guy ropes to fences & such. We do have a toilet here though, which is nice!
While we were having our evening meal a car pulled up in the car park - they're probably staying the night too!
I think Suchern did a lot better with her tent pitching last night!
