• Day 33 Negerie to A Maronas 679 km

    25 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    So.....I thought I had experienced my worst day of weather but I was wrong. I think this is Day 10 of rain.

    The morning started out great. Then it deteriorated into pouring continuously. I kept hoping it would improve......but it rained harder and the wind picked up nearly blowing my hat off!!

    I was thoroughly wet at 10 km. By 22 km my feet were swimming in water..... My poor feet😥 They have taken the brunt of all this rain. But here's to Merino Wool and keeping me toastie warm🥰💪

    Anyway, I can't believe how many other Pilgrims were out slogging away in this wading pool of water and mud.

    At one point I started laughing out loud at how I have paid to be here on this Camino. It is just like Nanaimo weather only it is much warmer 16 C....but still how funny is this😂🤣😂

    I saw a group of people on horseback doing the Camino. The picture was taken from my refuge in a bus shelter🥺 I ate my avocado ,/pavo (turkey) sandwich there.

    So.....it is going to be worse tomorrow. I am not a quitter however I am not going to put my poor body through the extra burden of dealing with the wet (my poor soggy sore feet!). It is not worth it,!! Besides I have walked almost 700 km

    Enter Plan B. I am taking the bus to Santiago tomorrow,and spending the night. I will then bus to Porto Portugal the next day September 27.

    I might as well see something new and exciting. It is raining everywhere although Barcelona and Valencia have sun I think.

    I hope you get the drift of how wet it can be.....socked in for sure🙄
