Tues 4 Oct - A good evening last night and I can confirm that the local cheese and honey from OC was really good - a lot like honey cheesecake without the pastry. A COP start and another good hike today of about 33kms through very green countryside. That said we past through a lot of small hamlets that were primarily redolent of cow shit. However, many of them could easily stand in for a typical 'constable' English village complete with hay wagon and stream. Any one of them moved to UK and tidied up would have tourists flocking to see them. We have also seen a host of chesnut trees during the last few days some of which have clearly been very old. Although the primary risk to health on the camino is blisters I would expect scurvy to come a close second given the almost total lack of vegetables served with the meals. In fact there is often a cry of delight when some greens are served with the meal. Arrived at Samos just before 1400 and now settled in another AdP which at the moment looks quite good! Much of today's walk was like hiking down English lanes and I even managed to catch an autumn leaf - so that should be my good luck secured for next year.
