Day 238 Tirunelveli - Sattur

Pretty unexciting day: just cycling cycling cycling. And some eating inbetween. The all-you-can-eat meals are perfect for cyclists and they usually go for less than 1€. It is served on a banana leaf and you are supposed to eat it with your fingers - really with your fingers, not with the help of flat bread or something! I am not sure if I will ever get used to this, until now I could always convince the waiters to provide me with a spoon.
Initially I had planned to take the small roads, but the highway is surprisingly good - not much traffic, usually a wide shoulder, perfect for cycling. Only problems: again a lot of headwind and in the afternoon a lot of heat. I stopped at whatever provided shadow, usually bus shelters. Nevertheless I managed to make some distance.
