The plan was a good plan as, although it did not rain as forecast, it was hot and dry.

The negative was that we did not get to see as many people as normal. Normally we start later and pass most walkers by the time we get to the destination. As we left early, most were behind us for the full day and probably thought we were having a lay day.

We walked most of today with an Irish couple from Cork and Vicki, the photographer, was too busy talking to take as many photos as normal. She will be punished tonight.
Our hotel in Logrono is lovely, but best of all has air-conditioning which allowed us to have an afternoon nap on arrival. We are also getting the laundry done.


We also heard a tale today where a young Korean walker was accosted by two guys asking for her papers. When she presented the papers they robbed her of this and her money. Locals said that they were Romanians. You have to be wary wherever you are in the world.
Tomorrow, we have a 28.5km walk which appears to be a gentle uphill gradient. We will check the weather forecast but will probably depart early again (unless the air-conditioning causes us to sleep in).
Peter and Vicki, Glad to hear you didn't get gored in Pamplona. We are enjoying the day-by-day and have lots of questions (as Kathryn is verrrry interested). You only seem to have day packs, as far as we could tell, but some people carry a lot on the Camino don't they? Hope the blisters have healed with more walking.
