Hola a todos! After 32 kilometres yesterday we completed another 30 or so today. We were awake at 3.30 so we decided to get going early. The first suprise was that we felt pretty good, we were expecting major soreness! Last night was pretty crowded, 120 people in one area (an old monastery - with a room full of bunkbeds), two showers for the males resulted in queus for the shower. Shared supper with Italians, Germans, French (fine people the French!) and Dutch (the young Dutchman cycled from Holland). Todays walk was easier than yesterday but not much - Rays knee is giving him a little trouble so he is walking there backwards (just downhill - we have some easier days coming up so it should get a chance to heal.

We walked through forests of Chestnut, Beech and Oak yesterday, today it´s more conifers.

Eating was simple today, sheeps milk cheese, anchovies, olives, tomatoes and bread washed down with fresh milk. Got to the albergue (hostel) about 2,30 and had to waite until 3 for it to open. Ray used the time to wash his clothes in the creek. Had a shower and siesta, a beer. more bread cheese and chorizo and that´s it for today - looking forward to a well earned sleep. Only 20 km tomorrow and pretty level.
