After a rather entertaining (or not) departure, where we managed to do a 20 minute walk and find ourselves back at the start, we headed off for what we expected to be a nice short day.. bruised feet and very tired minds we meandered along at an extremely slow pace to the next town 7km along, paid an expensive visit to the pharmacy for more of the amazing Compeed bandages for blisters, and pottered further along through rambling fields where an awful lot of slurry had just been spread.. funny for about 5 minutes, not so funny for 10km´s!
Eventually arrived in ´Reliegos´ where we had planned to spend the night, however with not a word between us we both kept walking, we could not hack another night of nothing! It was quite an ugly village, with again nothing but a hostel and a bar.. some civilisation was needed... Found one of our most entertaining pilgrims, Helmut from Austria to accompany us on the next 6km to Mansilla de las Mulas where we found some empty beds and had a good feed in a restaurant next door. Some wine and poker and off to bed.. Vanessa taking pleasure in photgraphing Isabel wrapped up like a mummy..
