VEGETABLES!!!! How I long for some veg!.. to be fair I’ve been having some really nice meals, way better than I’d anticipated, but you don’t get any veg.. I have a mixed salad each evening as a starter and got quite excited last night as it included some sweet corn and asparagus 😀.. the main course, mine is obviously fish, is literally some fish! No accompanying veg or potatoes etc., …
I’m not a big bread eater, but have found myself eating quite a bit of it so that I’m getting some carbohydrates.. I’ll probably end up twice the size and come rolling home 😳
I started a bit earlier today due to my accommodation being 2km off the route. It was a lovely morning, considerably cooler ( I started in a long sleeved top !! ) although that didn’t last for long as it heated up really quickly.
Once again I was walking through wheat fields and vineyards, no olive groves today though… but again, beautiful countryside and scenery.
Usually when I first start, I pass / see quite a lot of people, but today I think I only saw about 6 in the first hour.. it was a longer walk today, so possibly some were keen to get going early to avoid being in the heat for quite so long.
I passed the Aussie guy’s after about 90mins or so and they said they’d missed me last night ( they obviously don’t know me 😳 ) and didn’t blame me for not wanting to go back into town, but that I’d missed quite a good night..
The terrain was a little bit uncomfortable underfoot for large parts today with large gravel sections which I decided I wasn’t a big fan of.
Went through a lovely village about 12km from Logroño, but i didn’t stop for long as
I’d bought a couple of nectarines not long before and had them to munch on.
I get quite a few hello’s now from the same people.. thinking maybe I should take my three legs of man off my rucksack and see if I can get past unnoticed!
A few short, but steep climbs today and fortunately the downhills weren’t too difficult.
Logroño is really lovely, so after a refuel and a shower I went for a wander around the old town.
Whilst out wandering I met, and had a chat with a few people I regularly see, but haven’t spoken to before.. umbrella man, it turns out has hurt his knee and so got a bus today to see if a rest day will sort it out enough for him to continue.. Another older man I see regularly that always says hello was finishing his Camino today feeling very disappointed as his wife had been supposed to join him for the last 100 miles, instead she’s coming to get him to take him home as after a fall the other day he has concussion and keeps getting a bit confused 😕
Another long day tomorrow, but at least I’m staying really close to the trail tonight which is brilliant.
Off for dinner in a bit… please please let there be some vegetables……Läs mer
Resenär I bought some carrots today and I had mushrooms with my tea. Jealous?
Resenär Must be a Spain thing Cal, as I’ve only eaten fish and salad or meat and salad! 🤣 obviously enjoyed several Estrella!!
Resenär 😂👍🏼👍🏼
