| We've arrived |
Yes, we have arrived. Our plan was to walk 34km and position ourselves 5km outside the city. We were on the road for 6.30am, had two half hour breaks, and got to the 34km point by 3.30pm. We could see the city below us and a lot of it was downhill, so we went for it and got to the center by 4.30pm. At 39km, it was our longest walk ever on the Camino. We think 39km is about 25miles/marathon distance - how bad!!
We are staying at the edge of the old city. We need to explore it properly, but first impressions are that it is a stunning place. Lots of narrow streets, a beautiful plaza around every corner, and a beautiful cathedral. More on it tomorrow. Most of all, we are delighted to be here - 800km is a lot of walking!!
You'll have seen in yesterday's notes that we were unimpressed with Arzua. Well, the town did redeem itself a little. Mary located TripAdvisor's second best restaurant as being near to us, so we, and a few American friends ventured there. It was off the beaten track, there was no written menu, the staff spoke no English, and we entered the restaurant through its kitchen. We'll spare you the details of the food, but it was lovely, and it was so inexpensive. We've included some photos.
