Day 18 - 24k - Carrion de Los Condes

The Albergue we stayed at cost 6 Euros which was a good deal given the quality. Had a good pilgrim's meal for 9 Euros. Of the 14 people at our table, 12 were German speakers. There was a German comedian, Hape Kerkeling that wrote a book on the Camino Frances nearly 10 years ago and has sold an ass-load. Since then there is a fierce number of Germans doing this Camino. He was also fairly unfit looking so that was as much encouragement as they needed. Headed off after breakfast at 7.30 am with the sun shining. Walked along a canal for the first few miles which was very pleasant. After that we walked parallel to the road for most of the remainder of the day. The 24k today is about average. We should be half way by tomorrow or early the day after. Gaby lost her nail on her small toe with the blister. Now she is getting a new blister on the same toe so she is not happy. I spend a lot of each day inspecting my feet. At this stage it is like a mystic ritual. There are no shops for 12 miles tomorrow so we have stocked up with provisions at the supermarket.
