On the Camino

We were up at 6:30 and took Mum's bag down for 7:30 before eating breakfast in our room. As we headed downstairs at 8:40 we realised that we had forgotten to write our day's destination on Mum's bag.

I cooked us scrambled eggs for breakfast and we lingered a long time over this so that it was 9:30 by the time we set off - definitely the latest I have ever set off on Camino. The day was sunny but there was a breeze so that it wasn't too hot for walking.

We were up at 6:30 and went down for our free breakfast. We got two slices of toast each with jam and a hot drink.  When we finished eating it was raining outside so we took a few minutes to get our coats and bag covers on only to find when we got outside that it had stopped raining!

Today we walked 20km after a bad night's sleep - the man in the room next door arrived back in his room at 10:59 and spent 15 minutes talking very loudly to his son on the 'phone (on a good note I learned that the weather was now much better than it had been). seeing as he was speaking on speaker 'phone I also learned that the man's son was pleased about this and that the grandchildren were well but missing their Grandad! We were up at 6:30 and packed away. Mum was having her bag carried by the Spanish Post Office on this Camino and they need all bags packed and at reception by 8:00 so by 7:40 we were down and ready for breakfast.

Our bus to Valenca was not until 10 so we had a lie-in until 8 (although the Spanish group next door got up at 6 and were noisy enough to wake me up). Before we had set off I had made us a banana loaf which we had brought with us so we ate that in our room for breakfast as well as some yogurts we had bought the day before.
