Day 17 & 18 Motivation

This church represents half way across Spain. We started in France so are over half way of our journey and Spain. We only have another 300 km to do having completed 500 Km. Can't believe we have walked all that way. Today has been a well earned rest in Leon. We arrived yesterday and my brain was fried, I just could not focus on any more planning the walk or walking. Thursday was my second day of walking on my own and achieved 40km, it was all great until the last 10 Km which felt like 50. I did not see another human for several hours and the road was flat and straight so I felt like I was in an endless loop of walking which would never end. 
Last night we went out for drinks and sat outside a bar in the centre centre and just met up with lots of other walkers, as you can imagine it was the latest I have been to bed in a while. We are "living" in a city centre flat and have complete freedom (although the normal washing and accommodation planning must be done) My feet are still throbbing but no blisters. Greg's foot is slightly better and we will see what happens tomorrow as we return from our day off to the last 12 days of walking. 
Greg's update - I've had two very long, boring and sometimes painful days while Em was putting in the hard miles. Boots on again for 6km Friday but had to jump a bus into Leon. No damage done and even managed to walk around a few (too many) bars yesterday evening though! Today was a total slob out, lunch and dinner in the apartment and Netflix and chill!
