Omg! I’ve never walked so much in a day. I arrived at our hostel, fell over on my bed and fell asleep for an hour fully dressed in my dirty clothing from all the dust that sprays up on us while walking.
But what a walk! What a beautiful walk. More of the same scenery but just as captivating as the previous day. Vineyards for miles … miles! All the work that goes into the wines that we drink… we’re walking through all of these orchards of grapes… it’s harvest season… Some by machinery and some even by hand
Today, we foolishly followed the advice of an elderly lady who sent us in the wrong direction leaving Logroño! When you read about people who spend hours trying to find their way out of the city while traveling the Camino … they are writing about Logroño. What a confusing city to leave!
The same old lady gave, Lars, a man from Denmark, the same directions. We found ourselves lost with him and having to backtrack, not far, but enough. This is a city that doesn’t sleep. People drunk in the streets, broken bottles everywhere…. as we’re trekking out of town. Thankfully it wasn’t just the two of us wondering the streets in the dark hours of the morning.
30km today, can you believe it, because I can’t! It was warm, yet overcast. Therefore we were able to keep a pretty steady pace without the sun beaming down on us. But it was a challenge none the less!!! Stopped to have our sandwiches in a park, there are sandwiches everywhere in Spain… everywhere. This or tortilla or hamburgers. We only went through one village on our way here… To be able to pick up supplies. Yet the Spaniards have caught on and they started setting up food trucks and selling water and food from the back of their vans! So cleaver.
This evening we had tapas in one of the courtyards… this city is quite fascinating. The city was built into a mountain … however these mountains have secret living spaces and walking paths through them. The monastery was also built into the mountain. Amazing!
What an adventure!
