Day 6: on to Puente la Reina

23.5 km 14.6 miles. Started at 0700 AM, bit dark still but was so nice & cool specially after the night rain.

I got to Puente la Reina at 4:45 PM in 9 1/2 hours. I think I am getting conditioned, I still walk slowly & everyone still passes me by. When I got to P. La Reina, the 1st Albergue was full. I was dismayed as I don't want to stay in a gym again. This is a smaller town but it has 5 albergues so I was able to get a bed.

I did not want the Pilgrim's Dinner so I went to the Super Mercado, bought a piece of steak, 6 eggs, cashew, 1/2 a baguette ( I learned this in Paris) & apricot & peach jam single serve. For E8.46, I have dinner tonight, breakfast & lunch tomorrow. Their breakfast at the Albergue is E3.00 for coffee & Danish roll. I have bought green tea so I am set.

All the cooking utensils, pot & pans are available for use. I just have to wash up after use.

Right now a man is playing the guitar & singing some beautiful Spanish music.

Here are some memories of the day...











Buen Camino,
Josie
