Update 22 October 2010

Just arrived in Salamanca with just about 700km covered and another 500 to go. More or less on schedule. Should have passed through today but am staying with Elena tonight and meeting up with Krumble tomorrow who will be walking with me for the next week.

Shin splints and toes are all OK now and I have settled to a comfortable pace which is about 3.5km per hour including stops for food, taking pics etc.

The drip that was the Camino Mozarabe between Granada and Merida (ie me) has now turned into a trickle along the Via de la Plata between Merida and Astorga before it becomes a torrent on the Camino Frances. Am meeting more pilgrims and there are more good and cheap albergues on this route. Have walked the last 4 days from Canaveral with Petra, a German girl, who is going to work as a hospitalera in the albergue Javier in Astorga.
