Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 8/10 - bed, food, wifi, afternoon nap 👍
Fatigue: 4/10 - I got hit by a wave of tiredness about 30 mins into the start of the day - so I ate food quickly and drank more water.
Ease of terrain: 1/10 - very flat walking
Challenges: I was more stressed than I wanted to be in the morning. I felt anxious walking into town that the albergue was going to be full and I’d need to do another big day of walking. I just wasn’t up for it. I hate feeling like this.
Highlights: getting into town early, being the first one at the albergue. Making delicious pancakes 🥞 😀.

Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 7/10 - my cooking and food has been on point 😋
Fatigue: 4/10 - so pleased to stop walking when I did. I don’t fancy walking another 8 miles.
Ease of terrain: 1/10 - so flat
Challenges: thought I was going to have to walk another 8 miles to find accommodation. Spotted the town square and saw lots of pilgrims, so headed that way and found the albergue (which had beds for 30 - I was number 18 in the queue) that was a relief!!!
Highlights: really been thinking hard about what food I can cook/eat to make sure I’m getting enough protein and fats. I’ve created a list and am excited about food again!
