Our destination today is aptly named "Hospital" as both of us could have done with one after a 32kms slog along the National Highway to this wonderful village! The ipods came into their own as we have been buffetted by trucks all day - the N120 stretch from Leon to Astorga must be one of the busiest in Spain. We decided to get all the nasty bits out of the way in one go and stumbled across the Orbigo pilgrim bridge this afternoon with not even the strength for a beer and fell straight into our showers and bed.
The village where we are staying boasts a jousting field and I think one of the longest pilgrim bridges with 20 arches....a beautiful sight to see! We were also delighted to see the return of the nesting storks which have been largely absent over the Meseta.
I also want to say a special thank you for the people wo put all the straw down on the last 1km of the footpath by the road today - it made a huge difference to me as it felt like walking on velvet!

Don't wish too hard for what you want
Or then you might get it
And then when you get it
You might find you didn't want it at all
Mother collected bag tonight - she was very cheerful. She & Ken reminded us to look at Blog which we have.
The Long & Winding Road lies in front but also behind - you write so well about it.

You 2 are both crazy. I read your BLOG every few days and I ache just reading about your aches! Pal zileri has been out of action this week being re-covered in black & white thanks to the sponsors generosity. New zooties have arrived - the only saving grace is they are the same colours as Emaar & Dubai Marina Mall so we can live in hope of changing over the Mina Beach logo! The water was beautiful this morning, although very humid. Miss you both. JB
