Decision time.

We set off late this morning after a lie in. A 7:30 start seems positively self indulgent. 12.2 km later we’re just finishing off two jambon sandwiches and coffees. The weather this morning is delightful, warm but not excessive, perfect walking conditions.

Pretty much everyone who started last night in Villamayor stopped for breakfast here. A chirpy Italian lady who started at St Jean at the same time us has made friends with an elderly compatriot who plays a mean mouth organ. The Irish girl with extremely painful blisters and two young Italian girls with heavily bandaged feet are walking together and encouraging each other. With two tiny little blisters I’m feeling a bit of a fraud. Even mum is suffering far more than me. David the Scottish lad and his mate have just arrived dispensing cheerfulness and bonhomie.

So, do we continue? It’s mum’s call. While I’m waiting for her decision it’s third cup of coffee time 😃
