- Leaving at sunrise: the almost full moon sitting low on in front of us; the rising sun behind us casting impossibly long shadows.
- The smell of freshly cut pine.
- Silver & copper millipedes crossing the path.
- Meeting Tim, the GP from Riddel´s Creek near Gisborne in Victoria, and finding out that he probably knows my Uncle Arthur & Auntie Margaret. BTW: Tim broke one of his toes twice last month, so is finding the Camino pretty tough at the moment.
- Feeling refreshed after 2 days rest. It´s the cumulative effect that makes the body weary, but a tiny bit of R&R rejouvenates us. We´re only a quarter of the way into this, so we need to take it at a realistic pace.
- After resting for 2 days, we´re now travelling with a completely new group of pilgrims that have already travelled for 200kms together. We seem like outsiders in a group of people that already barely know each other. But a communal dinner tonight fixed that to a large extent.
- We arrive at Santa Domingo on the day of the Santa Domingo Festival. It´s the 900th anniversary
