Atapuerta- first European man











Walked to Atapuerta on Saturday 18 April the last 12k´s thru thick mud. Have we mentioned that spain is all clay - no wonder they are such good clay tennis players. this town is famous for being the sight of the earliest european man and other archeological finds. Unfortuneately the tour was booked out so can´t really add any more facts.
Met an interesting man from switzerland whose heart was to weak to walk with a backpack so he is pushing a cart. He is doing the walk starting from the finish and walking to where we started if that makes sense. we shared a room with him - he slept so still i was glad he was alive in the morning. went to the bar for a few tapas before going on to dinner. Opted for the pilgrims meal again which is kinda cheating but saves having to work out what you may or may not be ordering. Remind me to write to the Lonely Planet peolpe when i get home as nothing I´ve looked up has been in phrase book yet!!

  1. Hi Michele &Chris
    Glad you are having a great time and keep enjoying the red wine also it is fine to eat Burger King has no effect on the waistline as long as it is washed down with diet coke,Iam sure I read that somewhere!!! that it neutralizes all the calories consumed so hence a negative effect. Make sense to me.Saw Noel briefly yesterday morning for Anzac Day he was in good form. Think of you both often and missing you both.
    Love Gini and John xxxx
