Sunday, 29th of July 2012,
Am heading off to Canaveral today, about 20km along the railway line .... which I mistook for the road. By road its 37-38km, dam so I guess I'm walking beside the railway .... haven't seen or heard a train go by ... I think it is like some of our country lines  ... used for freight purposes?
Fill all my containers with fresh water, glad I topped up on energy bars ... and after a way to hearty breakfast, headed south along the railway tracks.
No shade at all and it was full sun ... made good time as almost dead flat about 2/3 of the way passed a town Casas de Milan, decided to keep walking on to Canaveral another 7km or there abouts.
By this time (about 10am) it must be mid 20's and getting hotter by the minute, but only a bit over an hour to shade and a well deserved rest.
Made it to town about 11.30am, hot dusty and  dry, slowly rehydrate with gatorade and water and look for the right bar cafe to put my feet up for a while.
I realise this is where my path crosses the Camino Via de la Plata (Seville - Santiago de Compostela)
or as the Romans called it the Silver highway.
Settled in for lunch, though after breakfast, something light ..... thanked god I didn't have to contend with any  trains on my way, then to my lodgings and clean up and snooze.
Had diner and am up to now, till tomorrow, Luke
