The morning was cool and windy as we set off just before 08:00. The first few km's was not too bad, but the 22km's we walked was hot and dreary. The traffic got worse and at the end it was a long slog.
If the journey is not inward, where are you heading. This became my mantra for the day. On this inward journey consistency is the key.
We observed quite a number of people doing the Camino with day packs or just a bottle of water. They had a support vehicle which waited for them along the route with refreshment. Let's not judge another man's journey.
The challenge for us is to notice and enjoy the small things along the route. The bread and beer at 15 km's were sacramentel. We are still in a position to enjoy the simple things in life.
Tonight we sleep in an Albergue with 8 other pilgrims. Tomorrow will most probably be a short day with 16 km planned.
Suseia!
Sterkte.
