Traveler Hang in there. I’m sure sleep will help a lot. It just stopped snowing (it started yesterday afternoon)in the last half hour. I’m sure the weather is nicer there. Hope the bus ride is uneventful. Take care. 🤗
Traveler You can do this! Sleep well so you can start your adventure tomorrow/today. Whatever it is there now. 🤣 😘

The locals call the section I did today the butt buster and my guidebook calls it the knee wrecker. Nothing else to add.
Traveler Well at least they didn’t call it the ankle breaker…hopefully tomorrow is a little easier!! 🤗

Much easier walk today - mostly flat and walked through some beautiful park land. I got off to a bit of a late start and was on my own (without another pilgrim in sight) the whole walk. A bit surreal,Read more
Traveler I know. I must have been naive but I didn't think blisters were going to be a problem. it was quite warm today so maybe my feet were sweating more than usual?
Traveler You are doing great!! Maybe you could take a day off to rest if possible. 130 kms is amazing. Blisters do suck.
