Camino: Day 10

Distance: 23 KM (14.2 miles)

Weather: cloudy, 51-70°

Time on the trail: 5 hours 50 minutes including all breaks

Left our hotel around 8:20. With the cool weather all morning we made good progress, averaging a faster pace than on previous days.

The first few days I averaged 1.5 miles an hour. The last few days have been around 2.0 mph. But this morning I actually got up to 3.0 mph!!!

Each morning I wonder if I can walk several miles again, but once on the trail my body falls into a rhythm moving along. It seems to be saying, “Okay, I guessing we are walking now.”

So far few blisters and no tendonitis.

Only time will tell if this will continue. Hopefully yes. Fingers crossed. 🤞

First break spot of the day. For me, a good time for a café con leche & potty break.

Our way out of town.

We passed into the Castilla y León region today.

One way to find the route is to look for yellow arrows painted on buildings, the road and posts.

I often sing the song from the Wizard of Oz ‘Follow the Yellow Brick Road’ changing the words to ‘Follow the Yellow Arrows.’ Only this time the original words work.

More images along the way today.

Many people have written poems or sayings on any flat surface they can find. Here are 2 from today.

Our last rest stop before the last 3 miles into Belorado.

Hotel at last.
