After a short walk to Zdrilo, a brand new mountain shelter, I find myself living one of the best night of my life while a mountain storm goes bananas outside
A lot of rakja and beers have been consummed last night in the best mountain hut in the world and I honestly can't recall what I recorded but... here it is
Walking with issues, then a weird stop with local Buddha, rest at someone's gorgeous house for dinner and slept at a dorm with incredibly nice local mountaineers (homemade meat and rakja obviously)
When you expect a big dorm with food and a market and you end up in a house filled to the roof with chinese in the middle of nowhere in Croatia, it is surprising
Walking without pain seemed to be a long lost dream, but it worked for a few km. Then it's business as usual with 21,5km and a surprised and welcomed night in a Dom (first one not closed!)
Today is so uneventful that it puts to shame a monochrome painting. But yeah, I took a day to heal my feet and not think about the trail too much.

About In a tent with a French man : A daily thru hiking journal
From the publisher's feed
Hi, I'm Cartapouille, a bored french guy who has co-created and hiked the HexaTrek, 3000km to cross France through the mountains in 2022. I previously thru hiked the Via Adriatica in 2020. I also finished a small hike on the French Pyrenees following the GR10 for 150km. Each hike is a separate podcast season here.
Season 1 : Via Adriatica, Season 2: GR10, Season 3 : HexaTrek. Season 4: TransCaucasian Trail scouting
This is a daily short log to reassure my friends and family that I didn't die eaten by a bear or got blown up by a landmine.
