We have about 120 km left so keep your fingers crossed for us especially as Alexis had hospital treatment today

This isn´t the image that Alexis imagined in sunny (?) Spain We have completed 22km today in torrential rain and winds but at least we had very few hills. Unfortunately Alexis had some very bad blisters and could hardly walk but he was very brave and we managed to finish in just over 5 hours. We went straight to the hospital who were fantastic and treated his feet which are now covered with bandages and also had two injections. He has been allowed to continue tomorrow but we´ll have to be careful and take it easy. We have seen the sun for the first time after 4 days but the rain seems non stop. At least we are having some great meals - for 8 euros you get a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine and trust me, just the starters is enough for most people but not when you are walking so much. We have just been informed that on Saturday we completed just over 32 miles when you take the ascent in to consideration. We went from 500m up to 1,300m in terrential rain so you can now call us the marathon men.
