Puente Villarente

This albergue is like a ranch? And there's a cat and the owner is really rude but in a funny way. The Austrian couple and I have synced up, we've wound up at three consecutive off stage albergues together so when we got in at the same time today we broke the ice.

After showers and laundry they stuck their head round and said they were going to try and find lunch, did I want to come? Sarah and Martin. Martin has bought new size 48 shoes so his feet don't rub, he feels like an idiot but it's working.

Afterwards I headed down to the river to try and remediate this horrific patchwork tan, but it was exceptionally cold in the water and quite hot outside it so I ended up trailing back, excited to sit on a couch, and enjoy a 6.30pm group dinner at the albergue - the earliest yet, what a treat! That's just finished, there's a book in English here that sounds a bit drab but I could be tempted. Anything goes, I'm on a couch!Read more
