First day alone

This was a great day to get back into solitary walking, which I love. But it does take some getting used to after two weeks walking with a great camino buddy. Coffee in the room, on the road at 7.

The whole day was virtually all off road with no roads or towns visible. Good prolonged ascent, a couple of tiny towns, lots of wide open views, and a bar for an Aquarius at km 17 four hours later. It had rained hard last night but there was very little mud.

The rest of the walking day went quickly. It was a few kms on asphalt but minimal. Lots of beautiful riverside paths, up through oak forests, far from cars and highways.

I am in a town with no cell service, but it has an albergue taken care of by the local association. And a little bar where two old women (85 and 83 yo) serve great meals. All is good.Read more
