I over did it today

A travel blog entry by migs29v

... road. I'd had enough of the battle with mud, wet leaves, loose stones and pebbles. I won't lie, it was tough. I'd called Trini to ask her to arrange a hotel. The only motivation I had was that I would be staying in my own room without sharing accommodation in an albergue. The first thing I did was to have and ice bath for 10 mins. I'm not sure what the receptionist thought when I asked for a bag of ice! So now to ...

... ladies. However, on second thoughts, its fun to meet different groups each time, and...do you really want to blend 800kms with silent Germans or elderly US ladies? Enough "enlightment" for today, let's get back to the walk. I hardly slept more than 2 hours last night even though I hit the high bunk bed at 9pm.

He said the bull hit someone right before that. Later, I found out it was Aaron (he is okay - hurt his leg a bit). A little close to home! We ran into the arena. It was the most amazing feeling ever - 20,000 people cheering you on and your adrenaline is pumping through the roof. Words cannot ...
