Camino 3
Turns out today was t o be 31km. However, myself and a couple of Spaniards took a "bush" tr ack before we realised we had come the wrong way.. So another couple of kms more! A few challenging climbs and descents but quite manageable. Some beautiful little villages. Seems my finger is not broken but torn tendons. Anyway it is very swollen and I can't bend it. It's the middle one so it could come in handy! So learnings so far: Glad I did lots of training. Walking poles are essential, especially, for uphill and the steep descents. Glad I had a number 2 haircut! Glad I didn't bring any good clothes! Be prepared to smell and get dirty Make sure you have a BIG breakfast. Staying tonight at another beautiful rural hotel. It was featured in the movie, The Way. A shorter day tomorrow, only 16 km to Pamplona and then a rest say. So after the first couple of days being tough I am looking forward to the next couple before I pick up the bike! Which is making me a bit nervous. Although I saw some guys riding mountain bikes over the Pyrenees!!

Ella Oh my gosh!!! You stayed in the hotel from the way?! Soooo cool! Hahaha I hope the hotel owner was practicing his bull fighting lol!
Chris Hadley No, but he was a really nice guy. He made fun of me having a hole in my glass of beer because I drank it so quickly!
