Happy Easter from the Camino!
We got up today at 6:45 (before the cyclists who had to be woken at 8!).
The Confraternity of Saint James has a breakfast of toast and jam which we enjoyed and then we were off with Easter bunny ears attached to our bags!
Today has been another bright day but with leds of a breeze than yesterday making the 25km from Rabanal, past the Cruz de Ferro and oj to Molinaseca quite hard going - the up is bad enough but the down has a lot if loose stones making it difficult to traverse.
The views though are amazing
At Cruz de Ferro we laid down our stones, the symbol of the burdens in our lives.
We arrived in Molinaseca at about half four and wrre surprised that there was only one other person here - everybody walking seems to be more relaxed this year about getting to albergues which is good, there is no air of bervousnesd about managing to get a bed that we've felt in the air other years although whether this holds as we get nearer to Santiago we'll have to see.

Dick ran after us shouting for us to stop and we bith tried to work out what we could have forgotten only to find that he wanted a pocture of our bunny ears!

The aalbergue here is nice (although other rooms do have bunk beds) but after the kindness of the hospiteleros at Rabanal I don't feel as welcome or as at home as I did yesterday.
There's no kitchen here so in a few minutes we're heading out to get food.
Tomorrow we're heading for either Cacabelos (which I'm fairly sure has no wifi) or Villafranca del Bierzo and then will be heading up O Cerebrio the next day so will update when I can.
Buen Camino and happy Easter!
