Day 6 went *much* better. We left at 6:30am this morning and took much shorter breaks, meaning we rolled into our destination town around 2pm instead of 8pm,even though we went the same distance (~20km).
We started out the day by drinking terrible wine from a spout in the wall. We seemed to be early enough to only get the last of the previous day's barrel, so it wasn't really very good.
We then hiked and hiked and hiked some more, and made an uneventful, but speedy arrival at our destination before we even had lunch.
My knee started out pretty good but started causing trouble when the ibuprofen wore off. I think I'll have to keep track of the timing for a while and make sure I'm taking them again at the proper time. When they wear off my knee starts to hurt and I'm worried that I'm going to cause further injury during that time.
However my knee does seem to be recovering, and I'm working on lightening my pack load which should help as well.
