Travel day to Logroño

We had a good evening at our albergue. There was a snorer in the bunk above me, but I had earplugs and my buff on my eyes to keep the automatic bathroom light from bothering me.

After breakfast, we walked to the bus station and took the bus to Logroño. There were a few other pilgrims we recognized. The weather is cold and windy and there was some rain today so people are coming into Logroño which is a big town where they can hunker down, do laundry, and be a bit more comfortable until the weather improves.

We stopped to visit the volunteer office for our organization today on the way to the hotel. It was good to meet Mayte and Marta in person.

After we checked into the hotel, we went and had the big midday lunch again. I ordered what I thought was going to be bean soup, but it turned out to be tripe soup. It was good, but not something I would order again. Phil had ham and potatoes with fried eggs.

After lunch, we took a short nap and then rode the city bus to the Decathlon Store, which is kind of like a European REI store. He has been having trouble with his backpack, so we bought one to load and try. If he doesn't like it, we can return it tomorrow.

We'll try to do a tapas crawl tomorrow. Logroño has a famous tapas street where you order little plates and then move on to the next place. Not many photos today due to weather and travel.Weiterlesen
