Today was a good day as it was the first walk where I have managed to finish with Jess and Alex! So I am quite proud of myself as we didnt take any breaks but for one to get an ice lolly (which i didnt sit down for)
However the day didnt start off so well.
Firstly I got barley any sleep as the albergue last night was ridiculously hot, and there was one woman snoring! Secondly, as we walked up through the town to cross over the arched bridge, my bag broke! One of the straps at the top holding the straps to the actual bag pulled away at the seam! So I wasnt best pleased. CJ tied it to another part of the bag which had broken on the first day so its still holding together - just. Thirdly as we walked through fields, a group of cyclist camino-ers asked us ´´has anyone lost their camera¨. It had fallen from my pocket as we marched along! And fourthly, as we climbed the first of the hills, I relaised I hadnt filled up my water bottles!!! AHHHHH!!!!
As you can see it was going well!
Anyway all was fine as we managed to fill them at a font in one of the villages en route.
The rest of the walk was fine, as the weather was perfect for walking with the sun shaded by clouds and a cool breeze. This did drift away towards the end of the day but was appreciated by all none the less. Half way through the walk we stopped to get an ice cream, (I had a calypo cola) which was good and cooled us all off. But as my bag was broke I didnt take it off or sit down really until we reached Estella.
The alebergue we chose to stay in is ´Hospital de Peregrinos´ which cost us €6 and the beds are comfy but more importantly - the rooms are much cooler!
I think tonight we are cooking for ourselves, but not sure what yet.
As for me, my feet are a little less sore however I do have two huge blisters on my left foot, probably from sympathising it when walking as it is the same foot that has ( and still is) cramped on the outerside of it. Massaging and stretching before bed is something we have all taken to doing as seems to help considerably!
Adios (for now) x
