Distance wlaked by Pankaj 311.6km Distance walked by Mike 246.1
26km to today.
We started early with a visit to Daryl in hospital at 8am. He had drunk very little overnight so we were not optimistic of him being discharged today.
On the road at 8.45am when it was a cool 13degrees. There were several bridges on today's walk but all had wide shoulders so easy crossing and none of them had water flowing. One river bed had many walls dug in it and I wonder what happens when the rains come.
Our first break was after 11km at a very nice restaurant that I thought was called Hotel Taste Joy but as I was leaving notice the three chilis I thought were a logo made the letter N so it was Hotel Taste N Joy.
From here the road climbed through a wide gorge. The old road had zig sagged up one side but the new road goes straight up the middle. It wasn't a big climb but there was no wind so it got very hot.
There were trucks parked at gas stations with oversize loads of machinery on the way to the port at Navi Mumbai. One lot was for Nigeria and some transportable stone crushers for USA.
After lunch our route was through the village of Nandor Shingote a say from the expressway. This was the main road before the expressway was built. It must have been a nuisance for the village having all that traffic going through the middle and it would have been another choke point for traffic. It was then only another 4km walk to Dodi Bhudruk were we finished a 26km walk having caught up the distance lost visiting Daryl the previous day.
When we got to the hospital Daryl wanted to leave immediately even though the hospital said they would like him to stay another day. Surprise discovery was that the hospital care was being paid for by a donor.
We went to a restaurant in the country where I had a very nice Chicken Murglai which was made mild and I very much enjoyed. Daryl mostly ate sweet corn soup having tried chicken kebab dish but the chicken was a little pink so the restaurant cats got it.

As we got to Karhe at the top of the hill we were ready for a lunch break but there were no restaurants for a long stretch so instead of 16km before lunch it finished up 20. My body was really feeling the stress especially the ankle I broke.
