Worried a lot last night about my knee. Gave it the Voltaren treatment, and long johns to keep it warm. A cool day with threatening rain, but none eventuated. Knee behaved well without its support, shoulder said hi again a few times. Country side is changing and becoming more dry with shallow rolling hills. I love the pace of life here, except when trying to get a Cafe con Leche for the first morning stop. Had a nice chat with a Brazilian lady this morning, especially about the Coelho link. The walk was relatively easy, some up-down but Belorado took its time to appear. Quite a few Albergues here, dodged the most popular and found a nice newly opened one just off the main plaza. This is a lovely town and very friendly. Used a real washing machine for a change, had a great long hot shower. Had a shave and feel human again. I must have looked a sight today with a bright red Portugal sleeveless shirt (bought in Logroño so I can miss a days washing), with a bright blue Kangaroos FC jacket. At least the blue knee supoorts were missing.
Posted twice today, as the net was kaputski at the Monastery yesterday.
Have I told you about the fun trying to navigate a PC with Spanish menus, using commands from memory. Less than 550km to Santiago according to a sign in the square, which must mean I have covered a couple of hundred. Amazing.

Dude, sorry to hear about the knee. I hope it settles down a bit.
Long showers.. Mate, the water restrictions are so tight here in Brissy, long shower aren't allowed. So, I wouldn't mind a nice long shower myself. :-)
Oh, and that bloody ugly Kangaroos jacket.... :-)
about 200km you have covered...amazing. You knees are not swelling up or filled up with liquid, are they? Hope it is not a serious problem. You still haven't said about the weight loss. By now, your metabolism should shoot up. Good to see you not fall behind...respect your determination and positive spirit.
Enjoying your journey from distance...jijoong.
Arrive Belorado-(altitude 800m)...looks like a tough walk.
cheers,
Happy Birthday, hope its all going well, sounds like your enjoying it all
