Fromista to Carrion de Los condes

Last night Cj and Jess disappeared to look around the town. Whilst Alex was napping I ended up doing some diaratonic and chi-gun exercises run by the Californian lady, Melissa. It was amusing and did get us to stretch all of our spine and arms. Then me and Alex got concerned when it got to 7.30 and neither of them were back. Eventually jess returned and we walked to where CJ was having a drink. We ghastly a really good meal! We had homemade burgers and chips and a huge glass of sangria! And the best ice cream sundae ever!
Today we set off leisurely at around 7.30. Today's walk was only 20.5k and was the first of the walks which in the book states that it is "the first taste of soulless senda". The walk was mainly alongside main roads and has concrete camino blocks lining the way. We took a scenic route which passed alongside the river and had some shade from the trees. I walked with jess and Alex today and we stopped 6k away from our destination to grab some lunch. Both me and jess had a hamburger and Alex a 'vegetarian' sandwich with tuna? (The Spanish don't seem to get the vegetarian concept.) We also looked in the church there which was good and we got a stamp. We continued into Carrion and went to the espirtu santo albergue which is a little odd. We have single beds divided by gender as the place is run by nuns. It feels a little like we´re naughty school children at boarding school as we were told to wait outside the office on stools. Anyways, it only cost €5 and has the benefit of no snoring old men!
We went for dinner which was an experience as there was only one server so it took forever especially for Alex´s food which took well over an hour. But towards the end of the meal Jess gave her a telling off and we didnt pay for her pizza! Then after that most people went back to their hostels and we were left wih Anne and Senan (the Irish teachers). She told us hilarious stories (helped I think by the supply of wine) of school trips one including an accidental strip tease show and one where a boat had broken down and some people had to be airlifted. Apparently a fireman then broke his lef and they had to wait for life boats instead. It was hilarious.
We rerturned to our room and the nuns came in and kissed everyone good night - it was lovley!
