This was to be my "WOW" day,
Breakfast was an instant coffee from a machine and an apple while walking. This was a solo day. found a coffee sop 2 1/2 hrs later and so did everyone else. Nice walking day, lots of country. The albergue i was to stay at was out of town, so I was planning to buy food. The stores close from 2-5, so i had to purchase and carry early. 17km of carrying food. I bought food and it was heavy, veggies weigh alot, 4 carrots were .55 kg. I stopped for lunch after 6 hrs on trail in a grassy sunny area, no one came by and I had a 10 min snooze.
I started walking and said Ola to a man working on his barn. He started talking in english and the next thing he had invited me in for coffee to hear his story. He was an intalina who had down this same route and moved to spain after. It is so great to get a touch of the local spirit.The strong Italian coffee kick started me for next 1/2 hr.
Heade on and it was very hot, my book did not tell me I had a huge down and up at the end of the day. The albergue looked like a resort with all its windows and view. only 6 people per 20 person room. supper was minnestrone soup with all my veggies I carried and then relaxed. I chatted to a 75 yr old swedish lady that I had helped put on her pack as she said she could carry it but had a hard time putting it on. She was walking 20km days and doing 500km on her own.
