before today exciting episode i need to clear up the Ádder thing. i wasn´t and never have been bitten by a bloody adder! The woman in the Farmacia said it was probably a mozzy and that if i take these pills i´ll be okay. Only if your leg does swell to the size of a balloon should you seek medical attention. Now as my legs are normally the size of balloons I was obviously confused. Maybe it should be the size of really big balloons. Anyway it hasn´t stopped me walking, eating or drinking and my legs are no bigger than usual, so I conclude that all is well with my legs and i do not need to seek medical attention!
Due to the most excellent result last night (Scotland won) we got up late. As breakfast was a buffet you can imagine we ate and ate and ate. I allowed Alan to forgo the ´¨chewing what he has in his mouth before putting more in ¨´lesson because if he filled his cheeks full enough he´d probably have enough to chew on all day.
We left around 8am.
We returned around 8.05am. I forgot me stick.
We left again at 8.10am.
In order that he might feel lighter on his feet Al decide to opt for trainers and carry his boots. He was lighter on his feet, but heavier on his back…..
After an hours walking he decided he would rather be heavier on his feet…
This stop probably led to our first loss. Al´s shiny red hat. As we´d walked at least 50m from where it was probably dropped we decided not to return. Some lucky traveller would be the recipient.
As the sun was beating down kinda hard he fashioned a rather fetching headscarf out of his favorite red t-shirt. This still allowed me to pick him out from the other walkers when i reached the top of the next hill and looked back.
Okay, there are lots of stunning views and some beautiful old churches to see on todays trip but we kinda have to keep our mind on where are feet are going rather than whats around us.
By 2pm we reached Puerta after a final climb to the Refuge. As I entered lookin redder than the reddist thing ever the owner quickly sat me down and gave me water. Its okay I said in my best Spainish. I´m always this colour.
Showered, beered and now waiting for food. That is the way of the camino………..
Final thing – Photos. We got a lot but as yet can´t get access to download them.
When we do……………….
