I have just Googled the weather for Villafranca del Bierzo and it was 39 degC in the shade, and I didn't find any shade all bloody day. I am very jealous of all you cold, white people at home in Blighty. It must be lovely to sit huddled around the fire with your jumper on.
I am off to bed now, with the sound of a waterfall, the swallows swooping and calling and the distant sound of a cuckoo.
I pinched a spoon from the restaurant tonight so I don't have to eat my breakfast yoghurt with my toothbrush - luxury.
Sleep well, and keep listening to the birds.
I hope that you and I both have a good day tomorrow.
My idea of a good day is when I end the day with roughly the same amount of blood that I start with!

The local talent.
My daily pint (half litre) showing the manky hole in my thumb.
Good job you got your legs brown before the bandage went on!

Hi Ian, Have thoroughly enjoyed reading your journal, however unsure if you're enjoying the walk, beer or food the most. Was surprised to see so many people on your walk, it must be good to have so much company but scarey as you don't know who you will be lumbered with. (As long as you get your towel on the hostel chair first heh!) You really should get this journal published when you get home. Wendy's enjoying telling us about your 'funny' moments. Good luck and comfortable walking. Gay.
ReplyDeleteHello Gay,
DeleteI am enjoying everything the most.
Hostel chairs? I should be so lucky.
If there is a seat on the loo then I count myself lucky.
