Day 11: Navrette

It was threatening rain today but turned out to be a perfect walking day - a 22K one. The ACES have gone their own way at their own paces. Feels like another stage for me. I quite enjoyed walking in a more relaxed manner admiring the landscape, listening to birds, watching people.

Since Liam was leaving later today, I continued our poppy tradition welcoming him in turn. He 'caught me up' in Logrono where we had a cup of tea. He had some shopping to do so I continued through the undulating countryside.

Just before Logrono, I stopped to get a 'sells', a stamp from an older woman whose family has been welcoming pilgrims for generations.

I'm now in Navrette, another medieval hilltop town. I waved Liam goodbye as he turned the afterburners on planning another 20k... I was happy to stop, shower and am now resting! Can't believe I've walked about 150k so far... Time for a rest day soon.

I'm attaching a pix from last night's farewell dinner in addition to some others.

    Cup of tea? :) Hmmm... I didn't see any cups and tea on your picture ;) Maybe it is pilgrims' tradition to call glass of wine "cup of tea" hihi! :)

    150km wow! It is way from TO to Midland! Can you imagine to walk to Midland? ;)

    Take care!
