My AirBnB host Toshihiko made me a great breakfast of eggs, toast, fresh tomatoes, and coffee. He noticed I was in pain and kindly offered to drive me to the bottom of the mountain for number 27. I took him up on the offer, dropped my bag off at a store near the bottom (since the trail back involves going down the way you came up), and set off. It was really slow going and I was in a lot of pain both up and down, but the weather was great and the temple was quite beautiful.

I decided to take the next few days off in Kochi city to see if I can nurse my foot back to health.
