Day 17 - 28k - Boadilla del Camino

Had a lovely pilgrim meal last night in Hontanas. Headed off before 7am without breakfast. Had a good day as well today walking 28k. We are thinking that a day off is not all it's cracked to be as you just get stiffer without the walking. Maybe 2 short days is the way to go instead.  Walked through some lovely hills this morning. There are plenty of wind turbines on the ridges of the hills and mountains. Haven't seen too many solar panels though. If the grass is as green as it is they must get plenty of rain in these parts. The Albergue we are in is very nice. Most of the pilgrims we saw on the road are staying here. We had some rain today but not too heavy. 5 minutes after we arrived there was a downpour. Federcio from Tuscany who is a physiotherapist told me I wasn't doing my stretch exercises the right way last night. He showed me a couple of exercises so I am expecting the new elasticated me to appear any day now.
Dressed with the prospect of rain in mind.
