First blisters appeared today yippee..... Made it to RAINY Puente La Reina, there's no warm water and trying to get everything dry before tomorrow morning! Happy times ❤
Less than 700km to go toRead more
Belinda WoodWhere are the blisters? Soles or heels? What tape are you using? Missed the picture of the hill!! Where do you sleep? Are there many people on the way xx
Camino KateEverywhere!! They're on my toes though... I'm just using sporttape, not sure if it's the best type of tape, I'm going to a pharmacy when I find an open one. I sleep in hostels along the way for all the walkers. Not always the most clean option but definitely the option with the best atmosphere!! There are quite a few people on the way but it's not too crowded... I'm a pretty fast walker too so the chances of getting a bed are quite high 😊 I think there are a few pictures of the day with the huge hill 😀 day 1 of walking that was. Killed my legs, I think I'm still sore from that walk haha!!

Boadilla del Camino
June 14, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Who said the Meseta was boring?!? Great walk today, enjoying the birds and slightly boring landscapes whilst singing and dancing my way through the kilometres 😍☀
Belinda WoodYou are doing amazing honey, how are the feet? Obviously not too bad as you are dancing - however, I am sooo glad you have such wide open spaces if you are inflicting your singing to the masses. The birds you are referring to are they of the feathered variety or just trees in the shape of birds? Waffling now. Hope you have had a great day. Big Hugs xxx

Belinda Woodcant wait to see the mountain pics - you must be burning up - can't believe you are walking in such heat. You need to make a life out of long walks and living the simple life Kate - what is your next challenge after this? Have you thought that far?
