Day 7 & 8 Estella – Los Arcos – Logrono…day 7 nearly killed me!! Everyone is generally up at 5 to start walking before 6am…I know the outrage!! But it’s been 30 degrees by 10 am and the land scape has changed to no shade as we walk through wheat fields and vineyards. There are yummy wild cherries growing everywhere but the rjoca grapes are yet to ripen. Its been 8 days walking now and I have felt every pain imaginable in my legs. Today I can’t feel my legs anymore but feet are screaming. The worst is walking along roads or hard pavement and going down hill is murder on the knees as the backpack suddenly weighs an extra 10 kegs for some reason!! There is a festival in Logrono this evening so wandering brass bands and groups of people dressed up in fancy dress are dancing and getting drunk around town. I’d be with them if I could stand up!!! Most people are in bed by 10 @ the very latest because the days are ling and difficult. Everyone is either nursing sore legs or backs and there are some horrific blisters going around too. Staying in the albergues are quite good eventhough you’d imagine it to be a smelly but as soon as everyone arrives it’s shower time, was the days clothes for the next day and then siesta and food. There is generally meticulous footcare going on and all boots are left in rooms far away from the dorms!! Tomorrow is a 30 km walk but I’ll see how far my feet will take me. So gossip on the jacket and veneer from last post….the jacket apparently left the Camino early and booked flights home as he didn’t tell his wife that he was spending 4 weeks with a leggy American…the guiltgot too much it seems. But don’t despair Veneer is very happy now walking with a Brazilian man…I have spies a day ahead of me keeping me informed!! I’ll post again soon with some stories of the people I’ve met…WiFi is sometimes hard to come by or I’m either walking or asleep…but I hope you’re liking the photos etc s far…love youse all xxx
