Camino

Day 8 - Puente La Reina to Estella (696 km to go)

Walked 21 km today through gently rolling hills of the Navarre region. Clear skies, 16C and gentle wind. You can't ask for better weather. No blisters yet (a miracle), and knees and legs are doing just fine. Muscles are a tad sore, but not too bad. 

Leaving Puenta La Reina this morning. This bridge was built in the 11th century. They knew what they were doing back then.
