Villaviciosa to Gijón

This day did not end up being what we expected. Moriah went to bed chilled and probably with a fever, covered with two layers of clothes, a sleep sack, both our raincoats, my down jacket, and both our towels. She still didn't feel great this morning, so we decided to take a real rest day instead of a 9-mile-walk rest day. We took a morning bus to Gijón and arrived 3 hours before we could get into our accommodations. (Had we known we were going to take a rest day, we would have come here last night and booked the place for two nights. But, of course, we didn't make that decision until this morning.) We have an apartment and, although it's not fancy, it's just what we needed. We were even able to do some cooking and make our own dinner. We spent some time walking on the beach and our day was very low-key and restful. Tomorrow will be a 15 mile day.Read more
