It was a bit of a tough walk to get here, another 22k today. The sun is out and I ended up wrapping my new scarf round my head, under my hat, as a sun shield. you´ve seen Laurence of Arabia? IOK then, now think Florence of Espania.
I´m more knackered today than previously, although the walking was not particualrly more demanding. Could be that its becasue I left Puento de Reina (ok, I,m not chacking spelling and punctuation, ok?) without breakfast. Dinner last night wasn´t partic good and I had stuff to erat with me. But I think I prob needed more carbohydates, because I did start running out of steam by late morning. I had a good break at a village with a fountain, changed my socks and had some more cheese, breadsticks and sausage.
Once I got here I had a rest (having showered and rinsed some clothes first) and then out for a snack and a well deserved beer. My fluid intake at the moment is about 4 litres / day.
Recorded some more audio today, and hope to post some tracks when I return home ... this time it was some very noisy frogs. Talking of noisy foreigners ... the cyclists tend to be the noisiest of people, everyone else is keen not to disturb others in the alburges, but they seem happy to talk at the top of their voices ... probably something to do with having to shout their conversations when they are cycling.
Climbing a horribly steep clay-slippy slope out of town today ( so pleased I didn´t have to do it when it was really wet) came across some more discarded clothing, this tinme track suit bottoms and top ... cotton again. I can just imagine trhe former owner tearing them off in frustration at their soddenness
