I know you´ll be interested

587Km done 113Km to go, Blisters 0. Mantras lots

Well I know you will be interested in my feet. Thanks for your concern but the blister is fine. But a few days ago, I got dressed in the dark (as usual) but within a few hours realised that something very exciting was going on under the sock of my right foot. It wasn´t until the toilet of a bar some hours later that I peeped and what I saw made me hurry to the next hostal (ie place where I would get a room to myself). When the compression of 2 pairs of socks came off, some little lumpettes grew in front of my eyes to really dramatic vesicles. Others went a strange purple colour. It was briefly quite mesmerising, unfortunately I didn´t take a picture at the time so what you see is a couple of days later. Bed bug attack, I think. Putting my shoes on the next day was interesting and slow, but once they were on, strangely comfortable, like a baby enjoying a wet nappy. And all is getting better.

Rest of the body is fine and I´m charging along. Km markers have started appearing by the path so you really have the feeling of clocking off the distances.

The other picture is of a mini-Pamplona in a village I spent a night in. Mini because the village was small (one street, one square) and the bull was small (but nifty). Poor creature wasn´t very cross and didn´t seem to understand what was required of it. I found the whole business hard to watch.

I´ve booked my ticket home (next Wednesday) and absolutely longing to be back!

Much love
