Days 6 and 7 - Uterga to Lorca and a rest day in Estella
I am suffering from muchas ampollas. After a hard hot days walk with a lot of pain I stopped in the tiny village of Lorca for the night then hobbled a couple hours the next morning to lovely Estella where I booked a room all to myself for rest and foot care. It's been beautiful scenery though and very nice people around every bend in the road.
This morning I made it to Estella, a short day so I can rest my feet. I e made it about 71 miles. 411 to go! Estella is small but ver picturesque. Perfect place for a break.
Day 4 and 5 - Zubiri to Pamplona to Uterga
Two rough days with blisters beginning to develop but the pain was dulled by the beautiful Navarra region.
Started in St Jean with 482 miles to walk to Santiago. At the end of day five I have 429.5 to go
Day 3 - Roncesvalles to Zubiri
A long long day owing to sore muscles and fatigue from the last couple days. But a beautiful real through woods and farmland at dawn, passing through Burguete, one of Hemingway's favorite towns.
Lessons learned from from the long hot walk into Zubiri in the afternoon:
take shoes and socks off at least once during the walk; use every font to refill water bottles; lots of snacks especially when you start to zone out during the last five km.
