Arrived Cizur Menor (sp?) this afternoon. Shorter walk than yesterday, around 21kms, and easier terrain. Passed through Pamplona, and sent another package (and kg´s :heavy sandals, dictionary, radio, thongs) to Santiago de Compostela by post (Correos). Bought new lighweight sandals, like Crocs. Morning started with a gorgeous walk for an hour along the river. Absolutely awesome. Then a bit of hill climbing. Breakfast at a wonderful little town. Boccadillo Tortilla Patata with Cafe con Leche and a Coke Light (Diet Coke). Stopped in Pamplona for some foot repairs. More later on that..
Weather has been brilliant, fresh in the morning and warm and clear in the afternoon.
Got to Cizur Menor about 2:30.
Met my first Angel. The hospìtalero, Maribell (sp. again), tended my blisters and bandaged my feet. She does this for many. Tomorrow she is getting some of our gear transported to Puerta De Reina. Todays travel was with Jo, and Steve from Reading in the UK. Had dinner with them and an Aussie from Naracoorte, Tony. Commonality of motive is good.
Missing everyone, but it is obvious how lucky I am to have the support to do this life journey. Thanks and love to you Cristina.
Spirits still high, but the body is mighty sore.

Reading with interest.. Keep posting dude.
Ashley,
I am blown away with the distance you have covered in such a short time!! I have a mental picture of a man walking with huge white feet (bandages):-)
