Well we have had an interesting week. After our last message the weather reports said 7 days of heavy rain all across the northern coast. It was rain that we where just not prepared to go out in.
So we headed by bus to Granada and Seville and the sunshine with a plan to return to the walk a week later. It was to be a great suggestion by Vern as the region we were in, Asturia had floods, mudslides, washed away cars and bridges and some loss of life.
We were seeing news reports of the damage but it was difficult to appreciate if it would be OK to continue walking on the northern coast route. Our understanding of the news bulletins in Spainins was limited to the pictures and it did not look great. So we decided that the best was was to return as planned and walk and see what the challenges were.
As planned we return after 7 days down south and the weather has cleared. There is lots of mud and a washed away bridge we reached today had been detoured by a makeshift road by the local authorities. Plenty of evidence of swollen rivers and washed away roads.
Anyhow we are on track again and walking and very pleased to be heading for the finish line now. We will soon be in Ribedo were we head south to Santiago de Compostella. We dont expect many more internet opportunities so will make a new post from there.
My feet are now doing well and the new boots are comfortable.
Thanks to everyone who had added a post as it great to recieve your comments and encouragement.
Love to All from Chris & Vern
