We had breakfast at the hostel, and started our way (being the last ones to leave the hostel, as always ;)), and we hardly passed the last house of the village when my stomach started to pain. It was one of those stomach pains I occasionally get after eating mushrooms with cream - nothing moves in my stomach, i'm hot and cold at the same time, and usually this is the state when I curl up on the couch and whine of pain until it gets better. But no couch here along the road.
So I suffered until the next village (45 min), there we asked at the first bar for a Martini rosso. The girl at the bar had a quite interesting expression on her face - it was only 9:45 in the morning, and these 2 already start drinking???
Even though having had a drink was good, but I still needed until the next village (another 45 min) until the pain eased. And ca at this time my feet started to hurt again - jeah.
Shortly before we got to Sahagún we had a picnic at this nice church:
The plan was that we check on a church in Sahagún and light a candle - it is all saints today. But just as the churches in the villages before, all churches of Sahagún were closed. Finally we found one where the people were just pouring out - we waited until we could get in, and just looked around, when a lady plus the priest came and sent us away - they wanted to close the church. This was the first time during my camino that I was really close to tears - I was so disappointed. but there will be a chance to light a candle somewhere sometime during our trip, this I am sure.
my book would have sent us to Sahagún only this day, but our plan was to go on - and the disappointment also made us get away from this town.
A good 45 min after Sahagún the road splits into a camino and a real camino (királyok útja) - of course we took the latter.
Today I was suffering more, had to stop several times on this last section to bind and re-bind my shoes, then having a stop and taking off my shoes, putting my feet up. But when it all hurts, nothing really helps anymore - "just embrace the pain and walk with it" - as one of our camino-mates told us. I don't think "embrace" is a good expression, but walking on is definitely a good hint.
Here we took a double room again, the dormitory was already full till we got here - so far it seems to be a good investment.
I had dinner alone at a bar (the next insalata mista with bread and beer this time), and we also washed (using a washing machine this time). Now our wet clothing hangs along the corridor, but by tomorrow morning everything should be dry and warm.
Tomorrow the first rain is expected in this area. Let's see.
