The Camino Provides….most of the time.

23 Apr

  We had planned to shorten this 28 Km stretch to Toremejia, by 10 Km; taking a taxi for the last 10 Km,but as we paused for a break at a crossroads,by pure coincidence,the owner of the hostal stopped .He was touting for  custom, when he knew we were already booked in, he offered to carry our packs in his car.Great…and we finished in what is ( one horse town would flatter ) a one donkey town,and he went missing. 

 We had walked 28 Km of vineyards…..and not a drop to drink!

Booked in to the Hostal and met up with Pelegrinos we have walked and dine with in a good bar.Wecwere serenaded by a truck driver, At 5.30 pm, singing Puccini! Amazing guy called Juan. 

 Just another character on the road!

16 Km tomorrow to Roman Merida,where we have Two day break,planned.

The blister has not been a problem and The forecast is for slightly milder temperatures. 

 A poppy field proved welcome relief from the vineyards.

“For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length–and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.

A Pilgrimage is not a form of Public Penance!

Mea Culpa….another Cruzcampo, por favor.
