• Day 10

    2 september 2022, Spanje ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Well the excitement rose when I saw “mixed vegetables “ on the menu last night… what tasted like the veg out of tinned scotch broth soup with a fried egg on top is seriously stretching the title 🫤, but it was the closest I’d had in about 8 days, so, yes! I ate it 😬
    I started today by popping a blister and deciding against putting anything on my rubbed heel… the first 5 minutes were really sore, but then all was good.. heading off the wrong way within the first couple of Km’s very quickly took my mind off it.. fortunately a guy who had done it previously spotted me and started shouting for me to come back!!
    To be honest, there were a few sections today that weren’t quite so clear in which way to go. I had a bit of a wobble on the last 4km as I kept going for ages without seeing any signage or any other walkers. Only saw a fraction of the people today on route.
    The route today, was again through wheat fields and lots of vineyards, a bit of a nondescript day really as not much climbing or descending, good to have a bit of a breeze though..
    As today was a longer day I didn’t arrive too early and was able to ( locate 😳 ) book in at my accommodation.. added bonus being laundry facilities 🥳..
    After a shower and a stolen from breakfast bread roll, I went off on search of some fruit.. the nectarines here are amazing.. and ended up in a bar watching the Vuelta with a LOW alcohol beer!!!
    Couldn’t enjoy too much of a good thing as I had laundry waiting to be done..
    Whilst sitting on the steps waiting for my cycle to finish, a guy that I’d passed today and had been speaking to when I first put my washing on, came down and invited me to join him for a glass of wine in the comon area.. I did dither a bit but decided to put my big girl pants on and go 😳.. He was actually a really interesting guy, lives in Geneva, his partner is flying out to join him in a couple of days and he’s hiked and done ultra’s all over the world.

    Menu appears good tonight , though what I end up with may not be as it was all in Spanish. Happy days…
