I am sorry to use this topic to log into the Forum but I can´t seem to be able to get into the forum any other way.
This morning we climbed through the ´Sierra Nevada´like terrain between Obanos and Lorca. We stopped to catch our breath and two nice young men caught up to us. Seeing my SA flag, the one man said:
´We have a friend from South Africa who is walking the camino now, her name is Sil.
It was Javier and Fernando!! I was SO pleased to meet them on the road and we walked together to Maneru where we had group photos taken. So that was my first contact with a Forum member.
For the September babies: There have been reports of bed bugs at Zuburi.
The albergue at Eunate is closed.
The albergue at Villatuerta is also closed.
At Roncesvalles a Coke costs 2 euro but along the way anything between 1.20 and 1.50
Coffee is 2 euro: White wine 1.50 and red wine 1.20: Bocadillo with one filling about 4 euro and with two 4.50 Water 1 and most pilgrim menus between 8 euro and 10 euro.
I got a tiny trip blister from a folded sock between Roncesvalles and Larrasoana and put a Compeed on it. Today the Compeed melted and stuck to my sock and when I took it off, all the skin came off with it - about the size of our Forum badges! I am going to have to try to walk in sandals tomorrow. We walked for 3 days in sludge, slush, foot sucking mud! Please pray for sunshine as I doubt I can walk thrugh mud with my sandals.From Lorca - over and out!

If you are in/around Logrono Sept 10, I will give you some of my moleskin to use. I should be arriving there sometime early afternoon & will head for Ventosa the next day.
