Prettiest day so far? I think so. The terrain changed from lush foothills to rolling prairies. It now has a Scotland feel to it with stone walls dividing the farms.
Had some foot soreness today so I skipped a loop that went to a waterfall. It was an additional 2km and my feet said “no.”
Tomorrow… 21 miles. Argh.
Bill, how are the lodgings?
Many pilgrims stay in dormitory style housing with 4, 6 or 8 in a room. I’ve opted to try to find the cheapest private room I can. I don’t mind sharing a bathroom, but sleeping in a room with other people would be hard for me. I may still have to do it, but so far I’ve had my own room each night.
I’d classify all the places that I have stayed as 1or 2 star. They all tend to be in beautiful old buildings, but inside they are very small. I’ve had to share bathrooms about half the time.





So amazing! We watched “The Way” last night and was fun to think of you out on the same trails soon! Question – coming up on one week in, what has been most unexpected so far?
Love the photos and descriptions. Pay attention to those feet, tough to go places without them in good form! 21 miles is just a 10.5 mile round trip, you’ve got this!
They look like perfect accommodations for pilgrims, as long as the mattress is good. We walked 5 miles today and that was enough for me, I am envious of your mileage! Great photos. Good luck tomorrow.
Each day I read your post gets me more interested. How would I plan a budget to understand the cost per day for food and lodging? Are you washing your skivies and socks in the bathroom sink? 🧐 Take care!
It’s pretty affordable. I’ll do a budget in a future post. Hope your move foes smoothly!
So far no injuries from my move, but we’re only 1/2 way there and living on a prayer! 🤣
And, yes, washing my clothes each night in the sink.
Such an amazing adventure. The pictures are beautiful and I love the posts. We are following you each day, traveling with you in spirit.
