Well the anxiety got the better of me on Sunday morning, after seeing several Camino walkers pass me in the street, together with the thought of another day in a large city was enough to motivate me out of my hotel room a day early. I've just completed my forth day on the Camino, today 30km, the others averaging 25km. I'm sore in both legs from my toes to my behind but in good shape considering no preparation for trekking. My pack and equipment including boots are not suited to this type of hike but I'm adapting well. Some days I've walked alone for some time and it's great and others with other pilgrims from all over the globe. Today myself and a Duch guy walked and shared our stories and philosophies. We left at 4am and walked until 1.30pm, so the first 3 hours hike was by the stars as it's dark here until 7.30ish. There is a comradery starting to unfold amungst the group that are averaging 25km days and diners at night are becoming more enjoyable before we jam into double bunk dormitories for a few hours Kip.
At this stage with niggling injuries your just hoping that your body adapts and blisters stay manageable so you can keep moving.
Love to all talk soon.
