Sunday 27th of May 3012,
Fromista, still here, well have had  some sort of mind blowing thingy that has made me sit up and think!!!!!!! Cant explain it, don't know if I want too! maybe  the solitude? But theres people everywhere here, glad everyone is walking in the same direction. We can at least spread out .... it appears we have tortoises and hares on the walk .....
The hares are up early before light banging and crashing around, usually they wake everyone up ... then they grab some food and they are off ... power walking (5 -7km an hour) to there next destination .... single purpose, got to get there first, get the backpack in the line for the Albergue.
Then theres the tortoises who get up late, amble about , have breaky, then another coffee and ramble along, may only walk 10 -15 km a day ... no rush ,spend time smelling the flowers ... possibly taking 7 or 8 hours to get to there next destination. No rush plenty of time and enjoying all that is to be had.
On the Chemin du Puy, I was close to being a hare, pushing a long at about 4-5km an hour, I now am more of a tortoise, probably 3-4km an hour, but then I have stopped even thinking about when and where I should be.
If I'm tired I stop, if I'm hungry I eat, no pressure ...... life's great.
