Day 6 yay a bed!

They say "The Camino is not a race" however everyday we have been one step closer to not getting a bed. Today we walked about 28 km left 6:05am arrived 2:45 pm and the 3 Albergues only one had a bed. Yes one bed they offered us a mat on the floor for 5€ (the bed is 7€) we took as we were exhausted. Luckily someone left and we got another real bed! We are in a room with eight beds. Two of our roommates are Canadians that we have been following around since the beginning. The ok we pass you you pass me. In any case relief to have a bed. To Logrono tomorrow about 22km. Today was great. Saw the stars in the early am. Visited the wine fountain (yes free wine). Bastian almost lost his walking stick. It fell between to bars down about 3 ft . We took 20 min and it took someone else with two sticks and rubber ends to scissor it back up. The wine wasn't the best but for 1€ you could buy a shot glass so yay souvenir (to carry another 690km). After the walking stick issues we made great time in the cool morning. The cool did not last though by 11am it was sunny and hot. The terrain was hilly mostly down hill with one big hill early on about 250m elevation change. I hurt my quad but Bastian worked I out some. I think it is from where I had my iPod today. I've been able to give some good advice on stretching and massage techniques. My feet are better though I now have more blisters and Bastian got one between his toes - Eww! Bastian is napping and I'm enjoying a cool breeze on a covered patio with a beer. Dinner reservations at 700pm than likely bed.

  1. Wait... did you just say a wine fountain? =D A FREE WINE FOUNTAIN!? THAT'S AWESOME! =D I have to say, I don't really like wine but a place where you can technically get drunk for free is petty awesome! Lol hope the blisters get better. Hope your able to fill a water bottle for your long journeys.
