Jo and Anne reported that they completed their alloted distance for the day, about 12.5 miles to arrive at Punta La Reina. This is a large village with a population of 2000 and a wide range of facilities including two refugios and a hotel with dormitory for pilgrims. Not sure where Jo and Ann are staying but I think its a refugio.
Weather today has been good with sunshine. However Jo is having some trouble with a pulled muscle in her right buttock! (not sure she'll appreciate this level of information) - not the side where she had the hamstring problem. It seems to be OK when she is walking but when they stop it tightens up. When I spoke to her someone at the refugio had just given her a massage and she had taken some ibroprufin and rubbed in some cream as well. She sounded a bit down, but is still determined to go on. Ann is fine without any problems.
They have now bought walking poles so have a full set each and are planning to walk again tomorrow all being well. The forecast for the next few days looks like some more rain, but interspaced with sunny intervals.
57.5 miles covered - 428.75 miles to go
