Today we set off a lot later so not to arrive too early in the next town. We casually woke at 7am (HUGE lye in!) and had breakfast in the kitchen for a change. We then headed off at 7.35am ish. The morning of the walk was cast over and misty so we had no views other than fields either side of us. I chatted to Alex for most of this walk which turned into a deep conversation about how life differs whilst on the camino. We stopped in a small town called ´Hontanas´ for a hot chocolate and pan au chocolat. Then creepy drunk men (bear in mind it was only 10.30am!) came over and talked to Alex about there being a party, we ignored them and moved on quickly.
We left and the mist cleared and out came the sun and the heat! We got talking to a Californian lady called Mellissa, who works as a kind of doctor, but one of thinking how the body moves and to adjust it to solves illness and moods. It was strange but interesting.
We came across a ruined monastery which was cool and then arrived in our town. The albergue is really nice! It is a room of bunks and materesses on the floor, has good showers and free hot chocolate! The albergue owner even bought a table of us a free beer at the bar down the road. We got talking to two Irish teachers, Andy (a southern american man - bug fan of country music), a father and daughter from southern america, Melissa and an Australian girl called Alex. We all ended up going for dinner at a taverna down the road, which had a good pilgrim menu! This ended in everyone singing songs and then having a performance of country music from Andy and then Irish folk from the Irish man. It was great fun!
