Yesterday´s half rest day did me good. I started walking at 7.00am and I reached Logrono - 20km later -at noon. A lot of the time it was up and down, and when I reached Logrono I could have carried on walking for the rest of the day. However, tomorrows walk is 30km so I had better not think about that.
Logrono is quite a large city an I managed to drag myself off my bed to have a look around. Attendded mass in the cathedral - stunning church full of the gilt wood carvings I have seen everywhere in this region. Had a doner kebab for supper, and I ordered it in broken spanish to a Pakistani working in a Turkish restaurant in the middle of Spain.
It was overcast the whole day, and cold enough for me to where a fleece. I cant believe the temperture in Spain in May was only 16 degrees celsius! It also meant that my socks did not dry so they will be dangling from my backpack tommorrow - a familiar sight on the camino.
I have fallen into a pattern on the camino - walk, then find albergue, shower, do washing, sleep, then explore the town. Met Alison from the USA toay while walking. She started from Le Puy in France and has been walking a month already. Brave soul!
Thats all for today - Adios
