    Other modes of transport

    September 12, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Today’s KMs - 11 kms
    Total KMs - 129 kms
    Total blisters - 5 (plus a sore ankle & a foot rash?!?)

    After an eventful night at a small Albergue outside of Eskerika (which included someone sleep talking in German) we headed towards Bilbao. I must say the closer we got to Bilbao the stranger it felt. We had gotten use to small country paths through small rural villages so when a plane flew overhead headed for Bilbao airport it was such a shock. We had to walk on the main road for about 3.5kms today so to see buses and trains go past was also strange - other modes of transport besides our humble feet? 😳

    About our feet... we both strangely have a rash on our feet and ankles. My theory was bed bugs but Simon thinks it’s from walking in wet socks and shoes the other day. At least it’s distracting me from my blisters.

    Short 11kms today to give us time to see a bit of Bilbao before rejoining the more simple path.
