Day 23

Started the day with the best breakfast we have had on the Camino. Buffet style it had eggs all ways and bacon and cheese and various meats and cereal and fruit. We couldn't resist it---but my overeating probably contributed to my low energy for the first leg of 6 kms. We started to go better after that and had more villages that we passed through today. We stopped 4 times today---10-20 minutes each time and that helped us get into Sahagun at 2.30. Staying in a Benedictine monastery and we may not be back. We were delighted to find a bath but they don't supply bath plugs and the laundry area has signs up forbidding you to hang any wet clothes out to dry. Still it's a comfortable bed and the shower is hot and those things are always appreciated on the Camino. Had dinner last night with Peter from Nottinghamshire in the UK. He is on day 71. No, he is not a lot slower---in fact he does about 30 kms a day. He has walked from his home in England (thought he got a boat across the Channel--I thought that was cheating a bit) and has so far clocked up 2200 kms. What some people will do for a good Camino story.
