Lovely flat walk today.  Mostly country side with the odd village along the way.

We started out with Jon and Beate on a fairly chilly and windy morning.   It didn't take too long to warm up and before too long we needed to stop to take off a layer of clothing.  It also didn't take too long before we started catching up with quite a few others.  We found Karen from Germany then Edgar and before long we caught up with the Italian battalion, a group of 7 Italians.  The eldest is 79 and the youngest is 68.  We've been passing Camino pleasantries with them for a few days now but today was the first day we really had a conversation with them.  It was a great conversation and they were able to give us a heap of information on the next adventure that Fuzz and I have planned as they have already done it.  It was great because we were wavering a bit so they've put us firmly back on track.

We eventually stopped for coffee in a bar and we bumped into Alan a Swiss guy we met what seems like an age ago.  It was so nice catching up with him.  We all stopped for a break at a pretty place and shared a snack.  I really enjoy days like today.
