Yesterday, we walked 3.5 kms in the dark before breakfast to Estella so we could get going before the heat was too intense. I made it to Los Arcos by 1Pm thankfully. I found a little pension for 30 euro for a single room with my own bathroom! That was a lovely luxury. 42000 steps.
Today I left by 6:15 and walked 6kms for coffee and breakfast!!! It tasted great even though it was a packaged muffin and banana. Then I just kept walking slowly to Viana. There were lots of ups and downs so by the time I got to Viana my knee was really sore. So I splurged on this hotel and am resting. The room has a bath tub and I took a great bath as soon as I checked in! I reserved in a private albergue tomorrow so I can send my pack forward to give my knee a rest. only 34000 steps today. if I can't get more distance in each day soon, I think I will have to take the bus a bit to get to Santiago by June 8th. Oh well, I have walked the last section before so I have the option. Cross your fingers for my knee to improve!
it is hard to see but these are my shoes. They used to be red!
Sorry to hear that your knee is giving you a tough time. Glad to hear you are taking it easier for a bit and enjoying a nice room and soak - that must feel like heaven right about now. Enjoy your rest.
ReplyDeleteSo, what happened to your poor shoes? Mud? Dust? General dirt? At first I thought you had changed your mind and brought the olive coloured Keens instead. I can only imagine what your feet and ankles looked like.
