Today we woke at 6.30 and set off around 7. I took it steadily with CJ as todays walk was only 18km into Leon. The walk itself was predominantly on pavements or by the sides of roads so wasnt great on the feet. We passed through three or four small towns before we got the first view of Leon which is HUGE!
We arrived around 11.30 and found Alex who had been walking ahead. But there was no sign of Jess. As we walked into the albergue she appeared (thankfully) behind us and said she´d gotten a little lost on the way to the albergue. But we all made it!
The albergue is a monestry once again so we are amoungst nuns, and after a really good and powerful shower we walked around Leon. We had some lunch in a cafe aand then some really good frozen yoghurt which seems to be a popular food choice in Leon as there are loads of yoghurt shops.
I then checked my results for my second year of university online and I passed with a 2.2 ( 0.7 marks off a 2.1 :( ) Me and CJ then joined Senan and Anne at a bar across from the albergue and they bought me a couple of sangria in celebration.
For dinner we were with Andy and he fancied a kebab so we ended up at a kebab place. :l
It wasnt too bad but luckly I wasnt really hungry so just had a drink and a chicken and lettuce wrap. We bumped into Aussie (boy) Alex and his friend Luca (Switzerland) who said they´d booked into a hotel. Andy then went to book a room as there currently is a HUGE fiesta in Leon (and all over Spain). Our albergue as it was run by nuns had a curfew of 9.30pm so he then offered the two extra beds to us so that we may go to the fiesta. However, myself and Jess didnt want to risk being kicked out of the hotel for having too many people in one room and then have no where to sleep so we told CJ and Alex to go out and have fun without us. Hopefully CJ and Alex will tell us all about it tomorrow morning and to be honest theres a live rock band right outside our bedroom window so it feels very much more fiesta than siesta!
Hopefully we shall get some sleep.
