Day 6, and wow what a day. We made over the 100km mark, we have done about 120km. So the 800km is looking more realistic. Today 31km and 10hrs. The mountains slow us down. 😦
We started the day before first light, had a little difficulty staying on the right path. Fortunately lots of other pilgrim’s were already on the road so we followed everyone else. It wasn’t so hot today, but the sun is pretty fierce. We walked past a winery (Bodega) that serves free wine to pilgrims out of a tap in the wall. We got there in time to get just a taste.
We have stopped in Azqueta at a Casa Rural. Basically someones home and they have turned the top floor (3rd) into 3 bedrooms and a common area. There appear to be about 5 or 6 other people staying here. The building is made of stones, and looks very old. A communal dinner is served at 7:30pm. We stopped here as we didn’t think we could get over the next mountain to the next town, and sleeping under the stars in a field is not that appealing.
We will probably get moving early, to get over the mountain before it gets too hot. The next city is Logorno, about 54km away. It will probably take us 2 days to get there.
