Carrion to Ledigos

We had an amazing family dinner last night...pizza, burgers, and beers it was so good.

Departed hostal at 7am and had breakfast at a cafe as we had no opportunity to stop for 17kms..
The walk was great, we only had 24kms and we knew we were staying at a flash hostal. The walk was flat and ghe weather was grand; clear skies and not too hot. Not much to see, mainly cropping land.

We met a few new friends today, Dave and Brenda from the states. a lovely Italian couple Lucia and Donatella and Pete from Wales. The best part of the walk was seeing Jimmy from Ireland, who we met on the second day and haven't seen since...it was great hearing his travel stories...and having a few laughs. A member of the rainbow community took a real liking to Jimmy on the way and just about fell over himself to get to Jimmy who almost tripped over himself trying to escape. We absolutely made the most of that situation an ribbed him as much as possible. His friend Pete from Wales joined us and managed to make further fun.

Checking into La Morenaa was awesome; it's like a resort. Beautiful clean, white walls, modern amenities, crisp white sheets and foot cream, chocolates on the pillows and everything even smelt great! Of course the three girls got a private room, but even Brian's bunk pod was very very nice (we think he enjoyed escaping us for a change). The girls said Michelle only snored a little bit too.

At La Morena we caught up with Marco, John and Barry. Brian and the girls played Uno with Marco until late. We had fun.

The Pilgrim's menu that they serve most places is starting to wear thin; it's cheap but almost always consists of chicken leg and chips or some sort of stew great for the first 10 nights. White French bread is served in plentiful quantities at all meals. We never ever thought we would get tired of it... but it happened. Any chance we get we are onto the brown bread.

We had an awesome stay at La Morena, little did we know what the next stay had in store for us!Read more
