Well...
Last night myself and CJ got struck with food poisoning. We think this is due to some bad water from a basement bathroom in the hotel that CJ and Alex stayed in the other night as I had taken a couple of sips from her camel-pack thing. Anyway, it wasn´t therefore a great night as we had temperatures and I kept needing to throw up everrytime I was close to being asleep. We therefore missed tea and typically it was apparently one of the best meals yet. A boy from California named Michael cooked and he hadf been tutored by a top chef in Norway or something.
This morning I still felt very ill but we decided to get as much done as possible. Today was a 30k day and we passed through quite a few towns and villages. Before our lunch stop, I had had enough and literally couldn´t walk anymore. Thankfully one lady in the bar we stopped at spoke fluent spanish and phoned a taxi to take me the last 10k to Astorga. The taxi was expensive (€18) but it was worth it. I was also to get 3 hours sleep before everyone else turned up. Apparently the last section was hillier than was shown in the book and wasn´t fun!
I then had aq good shower and managed to wash my evening clothes which I had also been sick on (sorry for the details).
The albergue here is called St.Javier and is really nice from what little I have seen of it.
