I’ve just realised that trying to write an even vaguely interesting blog post after walking the best part of 14 miles a day is going to be a bit of a challenge (as anyone who has bothered to read this far already will probably wholeheartedly agree with).
So I’ve decided on lazy days I’m just going to post a picture or too that I like. Hope you do too.
But there is one story worth sharing…

I think that’s the sort of thing that’s supposed to happen on The Camino.
Here’s a couple more pictures:
