What a beautiful day’s walk! After the long mountain day we found no beds in the hostel but- thank god for Manuela she found a double room ‘privado’ for which we paid 25euros. Sheets, white towels etc! I was so exhausted that but for Manuela’s forethought I would have been walking on an empty stomach- my food rules down the drain at 7.30am we breakfasted on cold sweet undecaffeinated coffee and sweet biscuits sin gluten as well as peaches and banana. There ensued a day when almost nothing hurt and I was overwhelmed with the news that tomorrow is HALF WAY! There have been times along this walk when I truely thought I could not do it- now I know I can! I am sooooo grateful. For all the love and support!
Pictures along the way……
That’s for now!xx

Thanks Jen – love to see your landscape photos – amazing one of the right – simply beautiful. Does this mean you are still out there on the big uphill climb or at last somewhere resting? Hope your energy hasn’t completely crashed but if it has, then take the time you need to rest up. Love Willow xx

Just knowing you got a good rest and that you are half way is just so much of a relief – the food looks lovely – don’t worry too much about your food rules as you are needing lots of food to replace the energy used – have whatever you want! Really glad the poles are as much a help as Em said they would be. And it must feel wonderful to know your body has adjusted and is starting to support you. Hoping for that too as we have started using yoga therapy balls to help our neck and shoulders – would have been good to know before you started and then could have got you some for the trip! Much love – Willow xx

That is great to hear that you will soon be HALF WAY. I was going to suggest a day of rest, to not wear yourself out and it might still be sensible, as you are ahead . Getting lots of good food down you will do you good and make you stronger. You can do it. You are doing it. xxxxxxx A

Hi Jen – have been avidly following your marvellously brave adventure & can’t believe you’re half-way already!! With all the love & supporting thoughts plus that Taurean grit & determination (HA…….or maybe plain stubborness) you now know you will make it to the end & emerge refreshed & reborn ready to tackle more new pathways. 🙂
Much love & total admiration, Jo xx

Hello sooz- I have made a discovery. – walking boots do not let your tootsies or the arch of your feet move.

What a shock after your summer and how are your babies mama bear?xx
