День четвертый / Day four

Total distance 31.8 km, total time 6 hours 30 minutes.

Пройдено 31.8 километров за 6.5 часов.

I finally identify what kill my battery so fast - Skype. In 7.5 hours it ate battery plus compact charger , which has close to 60 percent of full battery. From now and on Skype will be available to contact me after I got Lon place where I'll be staying overnight.

Yesterday we have very good diner and very good discussion between me, Dutch guy Robert and Irish man John it was yesterday and will be published in yesterday post.

After couple bottle of wine I slept as a baby. Not a baby who crying and yelling, like a baby who is just sleeping. I woke up at seven, when almost everyone were ready to go. John as well was sleeping till same time. Good wine, good food, good conversation - what else you need for good sleeping? Or forgot - walk for 38 km :-).

Anyway, we were late, but we both have good walking speed and we were hoping to pass many people who started before us. John left about 7-45, and I started at 7 sharp. I passed couple people who was really slow an after half an hour I found John, who is sitting on bus stop.

My first thought was that he is waiting the bus :-).

But knowing him three days ( but i feel like i knew him thousand years) I just put away this funny idea and ask what he is doing here. He was looking on the map in the guide where this place was pointed as a split on two ways - regular Camino and alternate path to see XI century church and it will cost us another 3.5 I asked to show me picture of this church from guide. Ok. I saw it and you as well saw it - I said, let's go strait forward. We started our walk with equal pace, had some short conversation , like usually and after half an hour I went ahead and speed down a little bit. By end of the day I got email from him, that he wasn't able to make planning end poin Estrella and will stay 4 км before. I hope I'll meet him late.

In the evening as usually I got dinner with pilgrims menu. Not so good as day before but acceptable. In 10 pm in bed and lights off everywhere.

День третий / Day three

Total distance ~38 km, total time 9 hours. iPhone has died after 7 hours 30 minutes on half way through the anonsment. For that reason in run keeper you'll see 7.5 hours and 33 km.

Пройденное расстояние 38 километров, время в пути 9 часов. И хотя run keeper показывает 33 - 7.5, не верь глазам своим. Как сказал Козьма Прутков " если на клетке с тигром написано слон - не верь глазам своим. ". iPhone испустил дух, а я шагал еще полтора часа.

I got good start of the day, even I left albergue almost last. I still cannot sleep well between 2 and 4 am. Today we have same group of seven man from North Holland. They are so noisy. During the day when they are speaking and during the night when they are snoring. But, I would like to mention that they are from 65 to 74 years old. And they are really speeding in the Camino. Only today we were able to left them behind.

So far today was longest daily trip for Camino. 38 km , probably 49 because last hour and a half iPhone was dead and I can get result when it was charged - of course the rest he count as the strait line.

I had good breakfast on the road.

Дороги которые нас выбирают... / Our roads

Here I'll post only picture of roads I used on my Camino.

Здесь я буду помещать только фотографии дорог и тропинок по которым мне приходится идти...
