Tuesday, 9th of April 2013 - day 49
Its 7 weeks into our escape from what family and friends would say is normal life (though I think. all are secretly wishing it was them).
We awake to a bright though coolish morning, not a long day but still about 23km, for the most part flat but some undulating country late in the walk. We pass through beautiful country fresh and alive with spring. The towns of Huetor Tajar, La Esperanza and La Palma are walked through prior to finding our Hotel in Riofrio, its comfortable and has all the amenities for such a small town. we clean up and relax in the shade for lunch, its warmish, low to mid 20's, but the sun is beginning to get a bight to it.We are all on the Caesar Salad for lunch today with Cold Cured Salmon in it, yum. We also got stuck into some Campari soda's (its been a while since I had that, last).
Had the eventual afternoon snooze but today on sun lounges in the shade. Diner outside as its still warmish ..... duck breast for mains (cooked rare-ish) with mixed veg. and a very palatable red. The gas heaters are switched on as the evening progress's. The sky is full of stars ... I had forgotten how magnificent it can be. Then its time to hit the hay (well get the blog, emails done).
