DAY TWO - Logroño to Najera

About thirty kilometres covered today depending on which guide book you ascribe to. 

We started off with a climb out of Logroño,  and were the first to leave the albergue, which was far from full.  We have noticed that the way is much quieter this year compared to 2010.

The terrain had been varied and beautiful.  We have had to stop many times to admire the views.  Mountains,  lakes,  forests.  I think we've pretty much seen it all today. 

Arriving in Najera we were relieved to kick off our shoes and get in the showers. We've had a quick look round but have returned for a lie down before venturing out later for dinner. 

The challenge for me this year is to stay present.  With so much going on in the next couple of weeks I'm being careful to try to push that aside and stay in the moment.  So far so good.  There is so much to see and think about as we walk that the projects of the near future are staying there.

W ere checked into another comfortable and well maintained albergue which only opened in 2012. Friendly,  clean and ideally located by the River and directly on the Camino.

It's much busier here and our room is full of cyclists.  Hopefully none of them snorks as a good night's sleep is what we need ready for tomorrow's walk. ...
