To Sarria.
17. maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 8 °CI don't think I like twin beds anymore, especially if the mattress is hard. I got cold this morning blanket barely kept me warm. The bed was hard, and the room was cold. The shower water was warm packed up. Went and drank a cup of coffee and ate an omelet between two large toast. Met an older lady from Holland. See the picture. She said she was 72 years old. She said she did part of the Camino last year and continued it this year. She said she has back problems and can only walk so far. She could be home, taking it easy in a rocking chair and still being in pain. So she said, "So here I am. I woke up to fog and drizzle. I started my walk. It was to be plus five hours. The fog did not clear until about 12pm. It rained pretty all day. The path was pretty much muddy. I wore my rain gear the whole day. The terrain was not too bad. My shirt and sweater were soaked with my sweat. I again went through numerous small villages. They all had church's. They always seemed to be locked. My Google map pointed me in a different direction. I had to backtrack. I think it would have met back to the original one. I arrived in Samos at about 4 pm. I did 16 miles today. What made it was the muddy path as well as the rain. The room is nice. At least the bed is soft, and the room is warm. Wishing Patricia was on her way. Got the news from her. Saturday, she will try again. It is cold here in Samos. I went to the evening mass. Before I leave, I am going to visit a men's monastery at 11 pm. Met a young man from Holland at supper. Shared our stories. Issac, my Korean friend, bowed out on his journey due to knee problems. Hanh, my young Filipno friend, not only dealing with leg problems. But being attacked by bed bugs. She messaged that she was bitten over 70 times. As I walked this morning, it was eerie silence, no life. Until the sprinkling began , I began to hear the pitter patter on my rain jacket and the hoodie. I decided to take my time and observe my surroundings, and began to be deep in thought.Læs mere
