Day 22 - 18k - Leon - The North Kilkenny Hillwalkers Association

Meet Lisa Brophy from Sydney. Her dad comes from Maryville in Castlecomer and he emigrated in the late 60s to Sydney via London. Lisa is a niece of Ger Brophy´s. We met Lisa at the start of the walk in St. Jean in France. She did the Camino a few years ago but had to abandon it as she sprained her foot. She also knows Comer fairly well as she used to fly acoss from London often when she worked there for 5 years

We Had a pilgrim meal last night with the same punters as the night before. Finished off a Mafia crime audio book last night by Michele Giutari which was OK. Headed off this morning at  7.15 am and arrived at the Municipal Albergue at 10.45 am. Most of the people in the Albergue this morning took the bus to Leon as the walk was quite boring close to the main road. Stopped for 10 minutes for a coffee which was the height of the excitement. The Albergue here is great for 5 Euros. I am a bit out of town so I will have to head in to buy a new pair of socks. I have lost 2 pairs already.
