Another Magical day on the Camino :) Last to leave the Albergue after a brilliant free breakfast and a good laugh with fellow pilgrims! I started my walk and 200m down the road ran into my friends from Oz Richie and Marylin (the lovely couple from Australia) we ended up walking the whole way to Ponferrada together talking about life travel stopping to see the beautiful scenery smell the wildflowers eat the wild figs and enjoy all the wonderful towns we passed t...

Day 15 - 32.5km 309km to go 480km walked After another somewhat sleepless night thanks to all types of leg pain I was up at 5am ready to go! Today was quiet cold in the morning and I was the only one on the track until about 7:30am!
