Tues 27 Sept - Pleasant evening last night with good food. Spent 1hr looking for the local shop and finally found it in a small backstreet and it had no fruit to buy!  There was not even a simple sign from the main street to say where it was!!!! To bed at 2200 for a good nights sleep in sheets.  COP start except that the destination (Mansilla del las Mulas) was the first stop at 1130 as there was nothing else on the way.  Now drinking my first coffee having just had a croissant (nothing else available) while we wait for the municipal AdP to open at 1230 - hope we get a bed.  Flat empty walk today mostly along the old roman road called the Calzada Romana.  Now 17 days into the trip without a full rest day and I doubt that we will take one except in case of injury. Feeling quite weary today and my feet ache after 25 kms on a lumpy roman road.  It seems that the flat roads make the journey appear longer as you can see your destination in the distance for a long time.  Much better to crest a hill and see that the next place is at your feet!  That is about all for today as the letters on this keyboard are almost totaly warn out so typing is a bit of a guess.  In fact I am surprise how few mistaks I have made.  Tomorrow we head for Leon, but will not stay there.  Destination tbc.
