• Day 11 Laredo to San Miguel 240.5 km

    October 3, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Had a terrific sleep. Left by 7 am.
    I am only walking 20 km today. So not completing the 28 km stage

    Overcast with light rain. I packed my raincoat.

    Started with a 5 km walk to a point where a ferry would bring us over to Sonoma.

    All of a sudden pilgrims started appearing including Victoria !
    I was so happy to see her again.

    We had cafe con leche after we crossed. Vibram guy was with us on the ferry as well.

    While we had our coffee a dozen pilgrims passed😱 it was the most I have seen all trip. Yesterday I saw 3 pilgrims in total during the day.

    Victoria mentioned how she had suffered with the heat yesterday I guess a pilgrim was airlifted by helicopter off of a ridge ....heat exhaustion/ collapse.....very scary.

    So many varied ways today. Victoria is going a different way than me. We parted ways....

    Beautiful peaceful walking.
    Quiet countryside. It did rain a bit but no bother.

    Arrived at my destination early before 2 pm. 🙄
    Had Bacalou fish for lunch
    Very tasty after I removed the batter and skin.

    Very wonderful hostel. Immaculate and Fantastic shower.

    I have a long day tomorrow as I am going to Santander. Another ferry ride I am told. Yahoo!
