Camino reborn!

It's a mystery how energy appears when you least expect it and with almost no sleep to recharge during "the night of the big itch" I wasn't expecting an easy day. Started off at 6.30am in the darkness and headed past the incredibly beautiful and exclusive Parador Hotel and out of Leon.
I was having such a great day walking by myself that i swallowed up 50km in 9 hours, moving between 5.5 - 7 km an hour. My body was in some discomfort however my heart and soul were soaring like an eagle and just kept walking past my reserved Albergue and continued on to Astorga. The last 16km was much harder than the first 34km as I was walking and leaning into a 30+ km head wind.
