Colunga to Villaviciosa

I am up at 5:00 am and in the bath, I still don't feel the best, my body is aching and I feel quite dehydrated. I try to go back to sleep after my bath and some electrolytes and I manage to drift off for a half-hour or so, but I am just so uncomfortable and all I am doing is tossing and turning. I decide to get up and get my backpack packed, we need to have our backpacks down at reception before 8:30 am ready for pick up. We then go and have a cuppa and some toast. After breakfast we go to the tourist Information office to enquire about buses, I am not up to walking today, so it's now a forced rest day. We catch a bus to Villaviciosa at 12:30 pm and it costs 1.75€, it's about a half-hour drive up and around narrow, winding coastal roads, with lots of pedestrians, cyclists and other traffic, our bus driver does well to negotiate his way through. Once we arrive in Villaviocsa we find a place for lunch, then it's a taxi ride to our accommodation that's situated out in the country and well off the beaten track. We arrive to find a beautiful 17th-century restored home that has 10 hotel rooms, we book in for dinner tonight, and then I'm off to bed - trying to sleep myself better. I wake up just before dinner at 8:30 pm, and we are served vegetable soup, it's delicious and just what I needed. We then go back to our room, catch up on some social media, whilst enjoying the sound of rain and thunder in the background. It's easy falling off to sleep tonight, the stars have aligned - rain, thunder and and a big old comfy bed. Night all 💤Read more
