Lone start (Day 16 - Carrion de los Condes to Ledigos (26km))

 Todays walk was supposed to be to Ledigos, a 23 km walk. I started early on my own around 6:45, found a coffee shop next to the hostel and got a coffee. Then started to walk alone and found first break after 17 km. It was a nice coffee shop where they also had Paella, so I got early lunch around 10:30. 





I just took a short break before continuing to Ledigos - and beyond it - to a hostel at 26 km. I got a bed in a nice small 4 beds room with own shower and toilet and was able to reserve 4 beds for fellow pilgrims that were coming later after me. Nice in comparison with 30 beds hostel with one shared toilet and shower. I had a virtual snack with Helena at home, really nice to spend time together, and then I got a pilgrims lunch at the hostels restaurant. 



I kind of forgot to take pictures this day, so it is limit what I can show here.


It is interesting how the body adapts to the challenges. Even after 46 km yesterday, I had no issues walking 26 km today, and it was pretty easy. I am also still without blisters, and hope it stays that way. Today I am also more than half the distance to Santiago.
