Hontanas to Itero de la Vega

Oh, last night was interesting.  There were 21 of us in one room on bunk beds.  We were so tired and grateful to have a bed we didn't care.  We had  a lovely pilgrim menu with loads of other people.  We were on the first sitting and had a great night.  So it came time for bed.   We  had the snorer from hell who ended up having a dreadful nightmere.  He was screaming and finally someone woke him up and settled him down.  That broke the spell.  Everyone russled and yawned and went back to sleep without any snoring. 
People tend to get up early and get on with the day but we decided to be last out so we could sort ourselves out comfortably.  After the toe routine and breakfast it was 8am before we got started.  A bit late really but being as we were only doing 20km today and we had a booking we didn't think we needed to rush.  It was still a tough 20km but we arrived at a nice albergue and we have our own room tonight.  Unfortunatley I just saw last nights snorer arrive and I hopenhe isn't in the next room.
We have met so many fantastic people and we arereally enjoying the experience.
Tomorrow we will do about 16km and give ourselves a little rest.   Fuzz is really struggling with his feet and it is taking longer and longer each day to sort them out before we get stared.  Looking forward to an easier day.

  1. Ah brings back memories of the Milford track. Sleeping in a hut with snorers. Looks like Fuzz found a nice bar to rest his weary feet, hope he can sort them out. Maybe some thicker socks, slippers or shorter days are needed. All the next. A
