Hi you all! Had a night…we stayed at the Auberge Municipal in Estella last night…6 Euro per bed, the cheepest so far, usually we pay 8 – 10 Euro. They were quite full and crowded and about the only thing left were two top bunks in different cubicles…so there I am on the top bunk and had not seen my bottem partner yet….but a while later here he comes….oh my, don’t think he has showered for some time….he STUNK. Charlie could not even stand it, he said to me”he smells like a goat and….YOU like goats” ha..ha..ha….. Tigerbalm under my nose helped some.

Short day today…the trail went through more or less the same terrain as yesterday, but we are starting to see more vineyards now. Just out of town we came to the Fuente del Vino – free red wine on tap. Also walked a bit with three Spanish ladies from Malaga….very nice. One of them walks the camino for the third time.

My question is Did you have the wine before you met your bunk mate or after?
There would have been a big difference….

Wish we were there for the free wine, it would be where I finished my walk for sure. Vita…take the lead from Charlie and make him sweat.
