Day 18 - Sagahun to Reliegos

Today we covered 30 km to Reliegos. The weather was nice and we left around 7:45 am and arrived at 3:45 pm so 8 hours with 2 long breaks in between. We didn't find any cafes along the way but there were two small grocery stores where we could get food. We were really happy to have fresh baguettes with ham, chorizo, and cheese even if we couldn't have our coffee.

It was the 4 of us walking together. Everyone was kind of slow after yesterday's trying walk and the scenery was very boring with a path along the road. It seems the lead feet I developed on the last half hour of yesterday's walk remained this morning. It was a struggle for the first part of the day - though I did eventually embrace the slower pace and found I didn't mind slowing down so much.

The only pretty things on this walk inlcuded the grass sparkling with dew drops and we watched some silvery spider web floating in the rafters of one rest stop.

We stayed at the municipale albergue and for what seemed like a long day, we were among the earliest to arrive. We thought we might be the only people staying there because we saw next to no one on our walk but later many more people joined us. They started placing a
plastic mats on the floors bc we ran out of beds on the main floor.

The room had been cold when we arrived but the heat is on now thankfully since I'm feeling very chilly from a cold.

There were no open restaurants in town so 5 of us went to the grocery store and bought some stuff to cook pasta, soup, and sauteed vegetables. I retired early to get some much needed rest after dinner. Tomorrow we head to Leon!Les mer
