12 kms to the first town and Although absolutely spectacular, i seemed to have a very tough time. But a glass of vino tinto at lunch and voila!, a new woman, ready to do another 8kms. I actually had no idea it was thursday today. I was tossing up whether it was tuesday or wednesday. At lunch a little bar/restaurant, there's an old man sitting outside with a bleached toupe and a 4 inch heel on his right shoe to balance out his uneven legs. I just saw him s...

Not quite at Villa Mayor but have been walking all morning. Last night had a fantastic meal at the albergue i stayed at with local wine and produce. I walked for about 3 hours before i could find breakfast because these crazy spaniards do not wake up till around 10.00am. Then i bought a baguette that looked like a thing of wheat. This baguette looked really cool and i thought it would be good because it had about 15 bits that i could break off. Very conve...

Couple of days spent in Pamplona. Didn't feel guilty sitting around doing nothing because there's not all that much to do. The locals pretty much spend their spare time sitting around at cafe's or in the Plaza (not like porpoise spit plaza). The most impressive thing i saw were the little kids who were dressed so cute. They looked like little dolls. The stylish people of this town have stylish little accessories too. There is a lapse of about 2 days here wh...

Todays journal entry is entitled 'No-one said it was going to be easy'. It finally kicked in today that i'm walking 780kms and that i have walked 1/10th of the way. Haha. This made me laugh. Last night, i met a Zubirian working in his garden. He spoke only espagnol but i managed to have a good 15 minute conversation with him. Very funny. I found out why the horses have bells (probably obvious to most, but not to surbanite me): 'Porche Los caballos tiena...

Cafe con leche for breakfast with a funny Scotsman called Michael. Past a foal who is trying to walk. Some of the horses wear bells around their necks. I'm not sure why. Going to try to work out how to ask some local why this is so. There are violets that don't smell sprinkled all through the scrub everywhere i walk. Found my way to 'Lavabos' using spanish. I'm not as stupid as i look. Well maybe not. I'm like a 4 year old trying to cross the road. I'm ...
