I have a rather fascinating pilgrim of the day for you today. Michael from Ireland is retired, and has done many camino's. How many camino's you ask! To date he has done; The Camino France's - 3 times The Camino Portuguese - 1 Time The Via De La Plata - 5 TIMES!!! This totals 8200 kilometres!!! He has done the VDLP so many times, he can tell you about every twist and turn in the whole 1000 km path. He knows the people who run the hostels by their first name. So I think that makes Michael pilgrim of the decade! Anyway, we had a great breakfast this morning at the Calzada de Béjar farmhouse this morning. We set out at 8:00 am for the town of Valverde de Valdelacasa which was only a short 9 km walk. It was great to have the chance to stop and have a break in the day instead of having to go straight thru. The next stretch was to Fuenterroble de Salvatierra, only another 10 km. The hostel here is an old monastery. Everything is very old and gothic looking. A communal meal is included tonight, so we will see what the monks cook up. So onwards tomorrow! Here are pics from today. Terry
