… a somewhat ‘interesting’ nights sleep…
Our fellow dorm mates; the “Spanish knicker ladies” as we now call them after the washing line incident, came to bed after us and instantly settled in to a pattern of rhythmic guttural snoring with the occasionally bout of flemy coughing thrown in for good measure…lovely!
We were on the road by 8:00am, stocked up with provisions ready for the day ahead which posed a new challenge for us; a totally unpopulated 17Km stretch of the Camino with no opportunity to refresh water supplies or buy food.
As in previous days we encountered just a handful of fellow pilgrims. We did however meet our first ‘Perpetual Pilgrim’ – a heavily bearded chap with a weathered complexion. He stopped us to explained how he has been walking the Camino for years surviving on the warm generosity of other pilgrims like us…so we gave him a tin of Johns Tuna.
Richard and I noticed an abandoned pilgrims trolley in a ditch – a few Minutes later Dr John appeared with it , rucksack tied on the back.
After covering another 26Km we reached our final destination early at around 4:30pm. Time for Dr John to soak his blistered and now quite swollen feet…very painfully indeed.
Richards summary – Carrion de Los Condes to Terradillos – we stayed in a very modern place (on the left) before you get into town, roadside Albergue “Los Templaris” and met Cory and Hank for the first time.
Bedbugs and Blisters 
Ouch, is that the same foot as usual John, something can’t be right with your boots. The trolley did make me laugh, John looks quite at home with it. You know, I think I have lost my slot as bread carrier, Mark there is something reassuring about carrying the lunch, nobody wants to leave you behind. Your next challenge is Photo call. Have a good day and weather. Geoff
Ouch, that would be extremely painful. That looks like the foot I bandaged up in Pamplona. If I was there I would give you all my magical Aussie bandages. I know you will keep walking strong. Hope you make it to the end. Joanne xxxx
It’s absolutely fantastic to read you guys and to “relive” the Camino by your writings and pictures. I started at the very beginning (2013), because I didn’t even know this blog existed before Joanne told us about it. It feels like home again, I miss it so much. Be careful with blisters and I wish a very, happy “Buen Camino”. Enjoy!
The other Jo you met last year in Pamplona… Canadian this one! 🙂 XXXX
Hi Jo!
Many thanks for your comments…we only have 2 days left but are back in October.
… It’s never too early … Or too late to start planning your next Camino!
Best wishes
Mark
