Was supposed to be easy (Day 34)

Well, yesterday I blogged that today was going to be easy. I turned out to be very wrong. We walked through torrential rain from 7am until 2pm straight. It was a slog. Heavy rain, lots of wind. After the first hour both Amy and I stopped jumping over puddles and just walked through them as there was no point.

I interpreted todays weather as 3 possible scenarios. They are:

• The Camino is shedding tears for April 1st cohort. Particularly me of course.

• The Camino is testing us one last time.

• The Camino had enough of us and telling us to leave.

We walked with Merel, Sergio and Michele which made the 7 hrs go by one at a time. We gave 3 long breaks in drenched shoes and clothes but laughed about the ordeal. I came up with the above 3 descriptions and so far everyone is voting for the 3rd option as most likely.

I think Amy had the best time from the 5 of us that walked together.

There were no possibilities of photos today. I was in survival mode with the exception of our first coffee break and a photo I took with Sergio.

I am keeping todays blog as short. Need to take care of my feet as I aggravated all my blisters due to walking in a puddle inside my shoes.

Tomorrow, we will all meet at 5k before the end and enter Santiago together. I am hoping for rain to conceal my tears from others.

Kms today: 23.5 kms

Kms total: 809 kms

Steps total: 342k Amy, 1101k Ahmet
