A rebel without a clue.

End of day one! But it's only noon. I am in the Alberg de pelegrins d'Ampost a because at 11 I thought it's suddenly too hot for a long afternoon  towards Tortosa - 20 kilometres done since leaving els Muntells around 6:15am. The ex-president, wife and current president were very helpful, but the ex-president was giving me a headache: too much information for the future. I don't like to see too far ahead on the Camino. Each day should be as it comes - especially in this heat? I am here now. The bed is made. There isn't much to the kitchen (it's entire without condiments, coffee machine, etc) but I am the 7th Peregrino since they opened in October. They are trying to develop the way from here so I wish them success. There doesn't look like there is too much to concern myself with here in Amposta, but I couldn't walk any further. The ex-president tried to show me the way tomorrow but he led me into the sun! Minus the floppy hat I couldn't do it and I a...

What a beautiful vista? It might be flat as a skillet, without edges, and you could conceivably believe the world is flat here, but a sunrise and paddy field landscape to give me my first bite of el Camino. Arrived in Sant Jaume d'Enveja just around 7:30 after a hasty six kilometres from els Muntells. Time for esmorzar. Just on time for the children to go to school, being collected outside the iglesia and to count the mosquito bites I've just received in the swamp... These paddy fields are their evening and morning hunting grounds? I guess these are European/western mosquitoes because I was miles from people (and they looked differently attired). The hife bus arrives to take the chicos and chicas away, I take antihistamines and then head off for post coffee dispatch.
