Casanova Mato to Arzua

Well the teenage boy lead the charge this morning, out the door at 5.30am! Bit excessive I thought. However I got up when I heard him leave and had another early start myself.

I knew I had to spend a couple of hours on some admin at an internet cafe and there was a town on my way that I knew would likely have something. Yesterday there was no internet anywhere! So I did end up walking in quite a lot of heat and quite well into the afternoon.

The big relief was finding a deepish river hole and spending half an hour in it. So by the time I arrived in Arzua I was damp but relatively fresh. OK, I still needed a shower.

The thing of most signifance today was this marker. Jo should now be able to tell me how many fractions of an inch I now have to walk!

  1. AAhhh but I am in Wellington and don't have my trusty Spain map with me... my guess is 1/3 of 6 inches.... translation I think is 2 days walking?

  2. Actually my math is a bit out - that should be 1/3 of 2.5 inches... translation - buggar all walking - for those who are sure of map scale...

  3. Brilliant - and all that, just from a photo. So, just to confirm, if Jen gets back weighing the same as a duck, then she's a witch.
