  • Day 7–8

    Day 6 to Los Arcos

    May 12 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Easy day
    20km
    Not much happening
    The wine fountain only opens at 9... we were more than an hour early for that... damn... thought we could fill our cups at 8am... nah... clearly too early for drinking!

    Saw Stella on the road... lady from North Africa living in Italy. And Erica & I talked to Philipe - dude from Hamburg... that walks like maniac! And sleeps/camps next to the road... he keeps to himself... till he had a beer... then super loud!! He walked faster than us... he is a nurse and needs a hip replacement 😳

    Also saw Frankie & Patou again... they break my heart... not sure why I feel so sorry for him and his dog... it's not about money or means... just sad...

    So many things about the Camino reminds me of the Comrades... the need to see people finish/succeed....doesn't matter when and how... just not give up... is the same.

    The human race can be so incredibly supportive when needs be... but damn we can be assholes too.
