Hello everyone..well here we are again just...
Ok we are getting a little comfused with all our computer interaction..email facebook and blog....
suffice to say ..we are still in Spain, tonight in Santo Domingo de la Calzada...google this and check out the Pilgrim and the chicken...
This Albergue is just divine..hot showers, clean beds, new, big, warm rooms, washing machines across the road..not that you have to wash icebreaker clothes (mark!) but they just feel nicer if they are washed..
We had our night of luxury in Logroño, beautiful..but we got so excited with the buffet breakfast and free internet we did not hit the pilgrim trail till about 11.00am..way way too late for our27km day
...needless to say we did not arrive at out destination Najera, until 8.00pm!!!! still light in Spain..but...
Michele had a shower and changed , but Chris opted to stay warm.. (and stinky!!) we staggered, no not from wine..just from very sore feet..our socks appear to be giving us rashes..think it is the elastic?? not good from $50 socks..maybe it is when we do over 25kms a day!!!
Ordered our pilgrim meal..you know spaghetti, chips and pork, blah blah..anyway, chris was eating and drinking...red of course..michele tried but alas, could not.... she just wanted to lie on the floor but could not as there were too many cigarette butts there!!!
Eventually got back to the room arm in arm ..walking like shivering crabs!!! just got straight in to bed, no cleaning teeth or anything.
Got a good nights sleep and felt much better in the morning.. just had to head to the nearest bar for cafe, crossiant and our daily dose of passive smoking!!! ahhhhhh!!!
Only had 21 kms today..had a beautiful lunch...picture this..if you can..
2 pilgrims, tired but happy..stopping for lunch at a little hut, looking somewhat like a bee hive..
made from stones as shelters for Sheperds.
we took our packs off and chris played mummie (as she had the night before!) and made the lunch which was ...yes you guessed, a baugette, ham &chese! we lay down on the bench and put our feet on the table, oh yes, we took our boots off..it was just heaven..
Tonight we actually cooked out dinner.. we know kids..dont faint..but we did, went to the supermarcado to buy vino tino, pan, corguette, and pasta. We can´t tell you ghow excited we were!!! We also shared out meal with a swiss man who made himself a cup of chicken soup..
we have a curfew here in the alburges, it is 10pm so we have to skidaddle off to bed..
tonight we are sleeping with a german man, a swiss man, german woman and 2 french women..
kiss kiss to you all xx

Hey Chris, I'm sure that Amy has filled you in on the Mighty Dees big win over Richmond yesterday!!! Dees are now 14th on ladder, woohoo. I wore my Melbourne scarf to work today but I must admit it took me a while to find it in the cupboard as it has been so long since we last won a game. John and I watched the game twice - was on live to air, then on FOX later that night.....gotta live the moment!
ReplyDeleteKeep having fun, sounds like you are powering along. I'm sure the worst of the eather is over for now. Love Jan xx
