Today we woke up at 6.15 and went and got ready in the corridor as most of the other people were still sleeping.
Today was a VERY wet and rainy day and both me and CJ again were at the back as my knee and her foot are still playing up! We fauced once in a small town called ¨Villafranca¨and stopped in a cafe to have a hot chocolate and croissant. We then played the ´Frog´game.
This involves saying öne frog¨and the other person says ¨jumped in¨and then you say ¨the lake¨. As the number of frogs increases you repeate the phrase to the same count. This is a very complicated game, particularly when already concerntrating on not falling over. We managaed to get to 9 frogs before failing We then made up my ´future´no cost spared wedding in full detail which sounds odd but it deffinalty helped pass at least 10km!
We arrived at around 1.30pm and by then I was freezing cold (as I was in shorts so not to get my only warm clothes wet). The walk itself wasn´t bad either, particularly not as bad as portrayed in the guide book which showed three steep hills. It was the rain and cold which ruined this 24.3km walk. The albergue is okay but has heating which is the best part! However the albergue owner came in and moved all our boots and chucked them outside so that will be pleasant in the morning! We then went to the cafe and had a hot chocolate again to warm up!
We then attended a pilgrims mass at the church and we were blessed for the journey which is good as I need all the luck I can get! We had dinner with a lovley lady from Ireland (Dublin) and talked about educational systems in all our countries (England, Ireland and USA). For dinner we had spanish tortilla (or omelette) and I had chorizo in mine.
