An unseasonably hot day today so I left early. Didn't sleep all that well, and had to push myself to keep moving. But an interesting day's walk. Almost medieval scenes of people planting out seedlings, tending young vines, or just resting in the shade. Less of the broom plant that I am alergic to, so I breathed easier. Walking into Villafranca you pass the wonderful Puerte de Pardon. Pilgrims to ill to continue could achieve the same Santiago indulgences by walking through that door. Unfortunately, as with the last time I visited, it was locked. No pardon for me I guess. I was hot, tired and footsore by the time I hit Villafranca, so I am going to have a rest day tomorrow. Nearly 600 kilometres walked, 187 to go, which all being well should take about 8 more days.
But tomorrow sleep in till 7.15. In clean white sheets in a real bed. Whoohooo!
