Big day out 37kms
Waking up in our lovely albergue in Hospital de Orbigo we made a special note to selves...avoid when ever possible sharing a dorm with aging balding coughing burping stinky MEN!!!!! (who wear loose underwear!!!!!!!!!!!) It is enough to put you off your cafe con leche!!!!!!!!! Next morning, we met the "other" 2 Aussie girls we had heard so much about. Carol and Carol and also James we met on day 2. Here we are before leaving for our 37km day!!!
Its not all walking, eating , talking, meeting we have cultural imput as well. We can now spot a Gaudi building from 100 mts and also pastleire wont say which excites us most!!! except to say that the cake shop was open and the Gaudi building was not!
That afternoon we tried a new plan. at 25kms we stopped for a afternoon Vino Tinto.very pleasant. In fact so pleasant, we did it again at the next bar which was "CowboyBar" about 1hr later!
This plan worked very well as we still kept walking leaving fellow pilgrims behind us. We eventually arrived at Rabanal del camino at 8pm!
ONLY to find that we got the last 2 beds and therefore it was full .. So it was very necessary to get out earplugs and blindfolds! (see top of post!)

We're enjoying your experiences and are impressed with your attitude. Hope to emulate but suspect that, dispite a love of wine, we will fall short of the traditional Ossie strong finish to each day (by a glass or two.)In London between Heathrow and Paddngton for a good portion of 25th on our way to begin our march.
