This was the shortest day of the whole walk, ‘only’ 14 miles.
Some Vistas Of The Day
Bait And Tackle Stores Everywhere
This was a wonderful day, as I finally started to relax and feel confident that I could actually stay on
schedule and finish the walk successfully. The lower Keys are also full of beautiful vistas!

Arriving at Sugar Loaf Lodge was wonderful! Beautiful weather, a beautiful view and pure relaxation at the end of a hot day.

All in all Sugarloaf Key was probably my favorite stop. It is hard to beat the tranquility, vista and feeling to be away from it all. It is so easy here to forget all your problems and just ‘be’. I have been back once since the walk, and it still has that ‘magic’ for me.
Did you wear sandals or sneakers? And did you switch shoes?
Hello Rosalind,
great questions! I wore sneakers actually (which I wouldn’t recommend for everyone but I found proper walking shoes too heavy and bulky for me), and swapped them with so-called ‘trekking sandals’, sturdy sandals meant for walking.
In my opinion it is crucial to be able to swap the walking shoes/boots/sneakers, especially when walking more than 15 miles a day. I swapped even throughout the day in this hot tropical climate…
I do go into it a little in the book (still had blisters and discomfort despite swapping).
Thank you!
Tamara
