Well 100k gone and 700 to go in 30 days ........ whose idea was this! Am in a lovely palce Puerta Reina after passing through Pamplona yesterday. Some random observations
Weather - hot its 20 at 10am and then 35 by noon so aiming to stop by 1 - 2 most days - seeing some of the other trekkers rolling in around 3 is not a good sight
Accomodation - tonights is great - ahuge place sleeps 80 but only 4 to an open room, last couple have been just ok - most of them put on a pilgrims meal for 10 euro and the accomodation is between 5 - 8 euro - snoring and rolling around on bunks can be a problem - so sleep is really a set of catnaps
Food - Breakfast - sometime the accomodation puts it on - other times you start with the fruit or leftovers from yesterday and stop for a coffee and food at the first town who serves it - lunch same deal and of dinner usually in house however last night a few of us chipped in and made spaghetti with a bottle of spanish red and bread and sat out behind an old church - cant pay for that experience
Blisters and things - managed to get a blister on left heel - its a cracker however and Aussie pharmacist is tracking pretty much the same speed so has been helpful. On the go for 5 - 7 hours a day so any problems, rubs or nagging spots you are going to find them however everything else is holding up ok - dare I say I think some weight is falling off - yeah I know .........
Boots - some people are doing this in sandals! The ground can be so loose and unven they have me beat on how they are doing it.
People - the Spanish have been super friendly to do date - we hear buen camino (good walking) many times a day - they are always happy to help and even tolerate my school kid language skills
Hope all well and I am avoiding any Poms like the plauge at the moment
