Blisters!

Blisters!

Ouch.

Geraldine’s blisters. The big one at least an inch across, she had these since day one. She would get more blisters on the edge of her blister. She was using all sorts to try to prevent it, compied was great, but kept slipping off, and at one point her foot was covered in tape!

Every night she would lance then with a needle attached to thread, and leave the thread dangling out of them so that the fluid would drain away. Never remove the skin, as it would leave the new skin below would would get mangled up in an instant!

The photo was taken at Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

And in Villoria de Rioja, we have Richard, modelling the latest in cheap trecking rainware for the modern pilgrim. Made up of a blend of Niagarian ‘Lady of the Mist’ rain ponchos, rubbish bags, and packing tape, he will surly get noticed on the walking track!

Richard and the Rocks

Richard and the Rocks

For some weird reason some passing pilgrims decided to make a rock tower. The more pilgrims copied. Now there are heaps of little rock towers on the red earth on the way to Najera.

Richard tried to make one, but it kept falling over. So he just left a two rock tower.
