Santo Domingo

The start of the day was this marker 582km to go but the guide book says its 625 I wonder which one is right. As you can see up another hill to start your day.

Another overcast day and it was 90% chance of rain. I lucked out and didn't get any

Most of the day was on farmer's roads

Yes that's snow on top of that mountain

I took this picture to show the irrigation systems they have all over this area.    I remember thinking how happy I was that I didn't have to walk that road

 

The first town of the day you can see the Church steeple but I think it is one of the only ones we didn't walk by 

More irrigation

This is the newly weds they did 6 weeks rock climbing coarse and now the Camino. This is them stopping for breakfast. I think there names are Eric and Amy but don't quote me I am so bad with names

Look what I came across today a guy collecting snails

He just picks them off the weeds.

Then we got a little mud to play with

This is what most of the morning looked like

The next picture's are of a town someone built then the economy collapsed 99% are empty

It was an eary feeling walking through here

They have a swimming pool and a golf coarse

This is hops so they must make beer here I thought all they drank was wine.

Such a beautiful country

This is the hill that killed my knee The strange thing was I was going up it when it started to hurt. That usually happens on the down hill. It was a rise of 300m in 1.5km 

This is the other side with me hobbling down

The Church in Santo Domingo. I am going to try and go see it

And this is how I spoiled myself on my Birthday

This is the view from my room
