[QUOTE="LuisaR, post: 1057990, member: 103223"] I’m currently in Molinaseca, sitting by the river, I have been immensely enjoying the Spanish mountain villages. [B]Day 11: Viana to Logroño 9.27km[/B] What a treat to have a relaxed and later start to the day! The aim was to get to Logroño for breakfast at around 9am, so Jo and I set off at around 7am. I decided it was actually a pretty good idea to start a little later and do a shorter walk when you’re visiting a significant stop, as it means you have more time in the city and you’re not too tired to look around! Today was my final walk with Jo as she was going to catch a train to Leon the following day, and I would continue walking from Logroño. Although I was absolutely gutted that Jo was leaving and I was really sad at the prospect of losing such good company, I could also see the positives: Jo and I could’ve easily stuck together until Santiago and this would have been immense fun, but I would have missed time on my own which I desperately needed and craved, and I would also have missed out on talking to lots of other people. I can’t remember anything about this walk, only arriving at the bridge into the centre of Logroño. As soon as we arrived we ate breakfast and really took our time. We relished in not having to think about going anywhere and doing anything for a couple of hours! We did however have a few jobs to do. We needed to get Jo some proper walking shoes. She no longer had any walking boots; she left them in Estella when she took someone else’s, but she didn’t even attempt to get her own boots back as she didn’t want them anymore as they had given her blisters! She had been walking in some sandals which had held out but wouldn’t last much longer. We found a good outdoor shop and Jo bought some Teva’s which she loved and has been wearing on the Camino ever since (no socks!). We visited the cathedral and then found our hostels and rested for a while. I wanted to make sure that Jo was going to be fine with catching a train the next day so after a siesta, we walked up to the station which isn’t too far out of town, but even though it was later on in the evening, it was still scorching hot. Jo collected her train tickets from the machine and she was good to go for the following day. We walked around the town and ate pinchos and thoroughly enjoyed our final evening together. Despite only knowing each other for 3 days, we had shared so many life stories and laughed hard and often. Jo is now soon approaching Santiago, and it has been wonderful to keep in touch with her multiple times per day since we left each other in Logroño. [/QUOTE]
