(Distance: 22 kms Time: 5.5 hours)
The Day: We started out late this morning because breakfast (a real scrambled eggs, sausage, fruit and even choc cake for Betsy) came with our hotel room but they did not open up until 8am. So we were on the road at 8:30 and back on our journey of walking. What should have been a strong day for both of us given the day off turn out to be tough. I had my usual aches & pains that did not seem any better, but Betsy has developed a blister/sore on her left heel. By the afternoon we were moving at a very slow pace and finished the day limping in to the albergue. Her blister is buried underneath the callous on her heel and she eventually was able to drain it. We don't know whether it will just fill up again or begin to heal. Tomorrow is supposed to be a 31 kms walk but we will just have to see how the day unfolds. All prayers are welcome :-)

The People: We have reconnected with an old friend, Angeliek from Holland who we had not seen for over a week, and met her friend Thorunn from Iceland. The way is becoming a more internal journey as Betsy and I walk together.
