Destination - Santa Irene
Distance - 32km
Hours of walking - 7:30 - 4:30
Terrain - heavy ascents, deep declines... But we nailed them!
Weather - no complaints from these pilgrims
Nature - donkeys, always roosters, rain forest like vegetation
Misadventure - that was a town, but where is the Alburgue? Under the bridge and around the bend. Oh - it's closed - not what we wanted to hear after 30km!
And... Sometimes shortcuts lead to time delays - Dee runs down the street yelling Brenda's name, as she worriedly looks for Dee.
It was the day that stars and the moon aligned for a big hike. The path was tricky and it was no cake walk. But warrior Dee was on fire and ready to pound out the kilometres. Who were we to stop her? So after a delightful day of hiking with Janet, we left her behind at 25km and pushed on. We all had an amazing sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. Poor Oliver, who was probably trying to leave us in the dust, ended up sharing another meal with us.
