• Day 71 - Luarca to Tapia de Casariego

    1–2 lip 2024, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    We had a good sleep and didn’t come to til practically 8 due to very good windows and noise control. After some searching found an excellent bakery for breakfast.
    Had a couple of hours resting and doing admin - it has been a rest day!
    The sun has been shining - we then headed for the bus station. Our bus eventually turned up and we all piled on.
    This bus had no notifications as to where we were so had to track the journey with Google maps so we didn’t miss our stop.
    The Plodicus had to get off twice to check our bags weren’t being left on the pavement as others dragged their rucksacks off. He found this rather tiresome!!
    We arrived at Tapia de Casariego unloaded and headed into town. We were too early to check in so sat at the sunny harbour and practised selfies 🤣 we’re still pretty rubbish at these!!
    We checked in and quickly relinquished our bags and ran back out to the sunshine.
    We had a very helpful hotel manager who told us lots of useful info about the town.
    We took his advice and headed back into town via the coastal path, reminiscent of the catwalk in Port St Mary.
    The Plodicus was becoming tetchy as his hunger pangs began to bite!! We headed for a nice restaurant and had a successful luncheon 🙌
    We then went walkabout along the harbour to enjoy the sunshine and the views. It was remarkably hot and still!
    After watching the return of the fishing boat we headed back for a couple of beers.
    We spotted large fish in the harbour that we think might be the same as the Manx callig - all opinions welcome!
    Then back to the room to cool off and blob out!
    The Plodicus is on about ice cream 🍦- we shall see !!
    One can only have so much of a good thing 😆
