Day 66 - Villaviciosa to Aviles

After our sunny day we had heavy rainfall last night.
Today was warm and sunny. We strolled off to find the bus station and once again managed to get on the wrong bus - main mistake- it was too early 😂 he kindly let us stay on and we set off for Gijón- it’s funny to do a full days walk in half an hour!! The coach driver went at quite a lick even around mountain hairpin bends 😳
Gijon was a large city and we were surprised by the size of it - a bit like a mini Santander. It would have been a long trudge in.
The bus out was in half an hour so not too long to wait. The bus station was busy with a huge queue for information and tickets. Thank goodness I had bought ours in advance!
The bus driver was very helpful and told us where we needed to get off. Even after we had got off he jumped off the bus to explain where we needed to go 🥰
So we headed into Avilés- a town with lots of history, piazzas and parks. We sat in a park while waiting to check in to our hotel.
Then headed out for lunch. As we were still in cider country decided to try this! I still am not a cider fan ☹️ it was a kind of scrumpy, sold tepid and cloudy!!
Simon was very happy as his dinner came with jacket potatoes- something he has been craving for a while 🥳
We fed a whole flock of pigeons with some of our leftover bread.
So it’s a rest now as we have a few challenging walks ahead of us.
