• After 49km of walking...

    May 9, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    After 2 days and 49 kilometres on our route this is what I'm feeling:
    - feet: nothing, perfect condition, thank God.
    - legs: only a little bit of soreness at the joints of my hip, but nothing to worry about.
    - shoulders: this is where it hurts more, 8-9 kilograms (that's including water) is not something I'm used to carry up and down the mountains over long periods of time. It's all muscular so hopefully it will go away soon.
    - but the worst is completely unrelated to the walking. I left Holland with a sore throat and by now it's worse and makes talking difficult. Plus I'm by now all congested, coughing and the whole works..
    So in other words you never know what the Camino brings.
