Long day today - and it was tough. We were climbing to over 1500m to the Cruz de Ferro, a very steep and strenuous trek, but which we found remarkably easy in comparison to previous mountains.
Passed through a small village called Foncebadon which got renamed by Isabel in an attempt to pronounce it.. ´Funkybacon´
This was definately one of the most beautiful walks of the whole Camino, snow on the mountains but stunning scenery, amazing flowers etc.
After a one hour snooze at the top we started on the decent, where Isabel declared this the ´Best Day so far´, well talk about speaking too soon..
About 5 minutes later on what were the steepest and most rocky decents we have encountered Isabels head decides to go before her feet as she takes a flying fall down some rocks..
Amazing Vanessa came to the rescue along with Dominic and Eric... all pouring water on scarves and shoving it on the forehead.. straight into the next village for ice and a clean up.. other than a bruise and some blood we were shortly off again in 36 degree heat.. Adventurous, not fun, and grumpy for the rest of the day!Arrived into Molinesca, really gorgeous town but unfortunately the day had taken its toll and it was bed by 8.30pm.
