Estella to Torres Del Rio

Last night we cooked for ourselves and made tomato pasta with cheese and watermelon for dessert. It was a good meal!! We then played some card games one which was CJ´s game (I forget what it was called) was a really fun game and I won! WOo!
Today we set off up through Estella until we reached a vine yard. Here was a red wine tap which traditionally you drink from your shell (which you carry along with you throughout the camino). We walked with the usual group plus Julia too. I walked the majority of today on my own as I was a lot slower today!! We then continued winding ourselves through fields and other vine yards. We climbed up into a hilltop village and then began the decent. We reached Los Arcos at 12.30ish and we decided (despite my protest as my knees were painful today) we would continue a further 8km to the town of Torres Del Rio. Before we set off we met up with Julias Dad. He was able to give me a drug which relives muscle pain and relaxes them which I think helped greatly as we continiued our walk. This sounds dodgy, I know, but it wasnt at all! haha
We also visited the church is Los Arcos which was beautuiful inside! Lots of detailed gilding and paintings on the ceiling. We then continued on to Torres which was a very hot walk as it was past lunch time and the temperature must have been well above 30´c.
The albergue we chose to stay in is one of two (the other one having a swimming pool - but hey). Its comfortable but we found ourselves in a room with 4 spanish men - who, we descovered whilst were napping, SNORE! Very loudly too!
I managed to catch a nap too after my shower, however another bad luck charm has struck! I woke up with right red eyes and they were leaking a strange gunky stuff! EWW! Anyway ...
For dinner we went to the only restaurant and had a pilgrim menu. I had salad starter, chicken and fries and a fruit salad for dessert. We paid €20 for bed, dinner and breakfast. Tomorrow is Jess´s birthday so that should make a good start to the day! Also as we walked a further 8km, we have shortened her walking birthday day to only 20km. This meaning we should hit Logrono by dinner time and hopefully before the heat!!
