Coca Cola isn't hydration. Water is hydration. Keep your water intake high. Order water with every meal and drink more water than you normally drink. The extra water will help as you start to perspire from walking all day. Caffeine is not to be disregarded however. Personally, I cannot function fully until i've had a cup of joe or two. Don't disregard the power of coffee. If you're not a coffee drinker try some local tea's. Most countries have a plethora of tea's available that you wouldn't be experienced to otherwise. Don't overdue the sugar and caffeine intake though, you can have a hardcore sugar crash in the late afternoon that last through the rest of the night. Stretching is a great way to warm up your muscles before you go out for a long day of walking. Stretch the muscles in your legs out before you leave, while your out, then at night. What this will do is not only prepare your muscles for more activity, but keep your energy level up for the next few days. Preparing before your trip is a great way to make sure you have plenty of energy while you're away. Be ready to walk more than you walk at home and stand on your feet longer and do much much more. Start by walking to and from work, the bar or your friends place for a few months before you go on your trip. This will ensure that your muscles are acclimated to walking for 12-14 hours and being used all day. An afternoon siesta never hurt anyone. Napping is a great way to recharge your mind, body and soul after an early morning wake up and exhausting 8 - 10 hours on your feet. Taking a nap will get you charged up for the evening and into the late night. Make sure to not take a nap on an empty stomach or to sleep more than 1 hour depending on sleep patterns. If you sleep too long your body will not want to get up and you can be groggy and tired for the rest of the evening. Eat carbs. Marathon runners eat a ton of carbs the night before they run. Carbohydrates will help regenerate energy that you loose when your exercising and walking. Carbs help you build energy and keep energy. It's a good idea to eat pastas, breads, anything made with grain, products with flour and vegetables. Carbs help your body create and store energy which is exactly what you need if you'll be on your feet for over 10 hours in a day. See less »
