Camino 2013 - Day 7 - 30 November 2013

30NOV13
After a good night's sleep departed the albergue at 08:30 under a grey sky and mild temperatures.   2km outside Najera this changed to cold rain.   It was a bleak day.   In Azofra put on the poncho for the rest of the day.   Imagine waling with a 13kg backpack, poncho, clinging mud for 10km, a headwind with driving rain in your face and fingers, cheeks and nose frozen, well that was my day for most of 27km.   To finish it off we had a hail storm outside Granon where we are tonight.   The albergue is in part of the ancient church and for the 8 pilgrims there was a special mass and evening meal provided.   We are now all sitting around an open fire.   It has been a tough day with a beautiful ending.   The feet are tired and sore and there is still hard walking to do.
