Day 4 Los Arcos A day of ups and downs.

Had a very challenging and revealing day. Left Puerta La Reina about 0630, feeling really strong. Could see mountains and big rocky outcrops on the horizon, by days end we passed those. Hit a big hill first up, and it knocked the wind out my sails. Had something of a panic moment, out of nowhere. Got past that and covered ground big time, although the surface was very uneven. Made Estella just about 1230, and had a knap under the trees near the river for an hour. Went past the Albergue and said seeya to Jo. She is now flying solo. Steve and I pushed on for Villamayor de Monjardin. Caught up again with Bob who accompanied on this leg another 8km. I had something of an encounter with a departed soul along the way, whilst thinking of him. Vey strange experience. Got to Villamayor and found both Alberques near choccas. Ended up taking a taxi to Los Arcos, as my feet were in big trouble, and weekend looming, means no help. Found Angel number 2, Carlos. Feet tended, medical supplies obtained. Went to the 8 o´clock Pilgrim´s mass. Had dinner and a bottle of Vino Tinto with Steve. Will be on the road tomorrow. Feeling positive, and recognize today I over did it. Cheers all.
