The Way-My Way: April 30th-Puente La Reina to Estella

I managed some better sleep but am still getting pain in my legs at night, I have now managed to get some ibuprofen so hope that will help, My feet have taken a battering and the pad of my right foot by the big toe feels a little bruised so i walked slightly on the side of my foot to help ease the discomfort, Today was around 14 miles so a little less but i have a few 18+ mile days soon, I started walking at 7am after a quick cafe con leche and met with some other pilgrims that i have bumped into along the way, Chris and Richard are brothers from the UK and i started to walk with them and their Camino friends, We stopped for something to eat in a very small village and before long there was many other walkers all stopping to refuel, As we are burning 2000+ calories a day you can basically not have to watch your diet, I walked on and soon i was on my own at my own pace, After a second stop it was straight on to Estella which is quite a good sized town, I arrived 1pm and went to the municipal Aubergue and paid 6 euro for a bed, Again fairly basic, The showers just have curtains and are mixed!! But at least the clothes washing facilities are good and there is decent internet, Apart from a few aches and pain, Feet/back and hips which everybody has i am quite pleased with how its going so far, I had heard that after 3 or 4 days walking you did not want to get out of bed and walk again, I have not had this yet, i have met a lot of people from around the world and we all have the same thing in common, Somebody said that they have yet to meet any A holes and i dont think we will, its not that sort of place, The weather has been great and perfect for walking, Lets hope it stays that way
