I left early today. I didn’t have a room booked so I wanted to make an early start to ensure I’d get a room at one of the places that don’t take reservations. The rain started early too, but again I won’t complain.
My walk started with a quick uphill but then it wasn’t long before I was descending down again to a river. The track felt like it could be in Australia, it was lined with eucalyptus and there were many fallen leaves. The rain did make things quite slippery so I had to be careful as I walked.
Tonight I am wondering where are all the pilgrims. There were over 50 people my first night in Spain, but tonight we’ve thinned to only 10. I guess others have taken different paces,some quicker and some slower. Maybe the rain has put a few off too. Tonight I’m in the small town of Lezama. I’ll hit Bilbao tomorrow.
