Thursday, 25th of April 2013 - day 65
Did.t get moving till about 8am this morning, lingered over our coffee's. Its going to be a bright sunny day today back up in the high 20's, so time to push on. Soon as we leave town its bush tracks all the way to El Real de la Jara (approx 15km), shouldn't take us more than about 3 hours then its another 20km to Monesterio .... we are in 2 minds, do we or don't we? Well that is covered when Liz takes a tumble on some uneven ground, rolls her ankle and hurts her shoulder in the fall. We are about half way to El Real de la Jara, about an hour and a half in to the walk. We sit and rest for a while, strap here foot up and check out the shoulder .... a graze, and most likely some bruising. We take turns in carrying her pack and shuffle on after about half an hour she is walking ok and we make the next town about midday. we call it a day and settle in, feet up and rest, once the boots are of her foot swells, we do the ice thing to get the swelling down, it is a nice shade of blue from bruising .... but the ice works and the swelling doesn't seem so bad. Will wait and see tomorrow, may have to have a rest day?
