We spent last night in a 13th century convent in Carrion de los Condes. It was a fantastic place except that Anna got bitten by bed bugs again, just when her previous bites were beginning to heal! Her allergic reaction to the bites is quite severe and causes blisters and blood and combined with a stomach bug I picked up yesterday, today we will only travel about 15km to Sahagun and take a rest this afternoon.
Apart from those few setbacks, everything is going really well. The walking is quite easy, no major injuries and the countryside is very pretty. The food is quite varied, ranging from inedible to passable. How we both long for some kimchi!
We will take a rest on September 1st for my birthday and hopefully be either in Leon or Astorga.After that we should be able to finish by about the 14th/15th of September and fly back to Ireland on the 16th.
Hasta luego!

Oh my God - I dont know which looks worse the blisters or that plate of "food"!!
Poor Anna is having a bad time of it - is there nothing you can spray on the bed to kill the little buggers before you hop in??
Happy Birthday for the 1st Paul - enjoy your last one in your 20's!!
