So, we were in trouble with the nun last night for not attending mass!! David (Belgium) and I felt like school kids being sent to the principal´s office!!
We had a long 17km slog without encountering any town. My walk was broken with conversation with Martin (Lithuania) and Shayni (Hungary)...this always makes the distance a lot less. Martin is really tall and is speedy, so he lost us pretty early on! I love the conversation with all the different nationalities...so much diversity and interesting outlooks on life!
My little toe has had to be amputated and the little pig ran wee wee wee all the home! And then there were 9! Just as my feet have just caught up to me my little toe decides to fall off! Really, is this the best time you could have chosen for a tantrum??
The last 3km of our 27km walk today was meant to be along the road...I really don´t enjoy walking along the road...the endless tar saps my energy and replenishes none! So we take the "green" route which adds an extra 1km to our journey...what´s another 1km amongst friends! And the route along the river revives and restores!
Have to say goodbye to Hugh and Kay (Irish) today! They will complete the Camino another time. This is the second stage in their journey. They crossed the Pyrenees in snow in April...their journey is an interesting one! What amazing caring people with the Irish humour of course! So warm and welcoming!
Food was the pilgrims meal tonight...pretty average...but fills the belly for the energy needed tomorrow!
The weather today was fantastic and looking forward to another few days of amazing crisp mornings followed by sunshine to put a smile on everyones dial!!!!
