I slept terribly last night, not sure why, maybe it was the guy in the bunk next to mine who fancied a cuddle. Maybe it is my soap, everytime the bunk beds are pushed together my neighbour always joins me on my side. I set off at 6:30, really taking it slow today after yesterdays adventure. I didn't feel too bad considering, just a few stiff parts. I was going quite slow, trying to follow the signs in Leon which I personalyl think were the worst yet. They were so random and hard to find. I ended up following three women who had a map and were making their own way. My limbs were still asleep so I struggled to keep up. Once we were out of Leon and back on the path I dropped back and walked alone.
It was nice to be alone again, I decided to take a 30 minute nap on a bench in a quiet little village. I then continued and stopped at the next place for half of a bocadillo. I got talking to a guy from Australia who was talking to me about photography. He also told me that a friend booked her tickets home the other day and was shocked to find they cost 200euro. Wow. I just checked the price and he is right they are about 150euro which is shocking. I checked the day after I arrive in Santiago and they are 48euro. I need to find a safe computer to book it from and one with a printer. I am also not sure about the date as I am still undecided about going to Finisterre. From the start I wanted to do the extra 80km and then more to Muxia as it is supposed to be a nice walk but I am not sure if I can be bothered now, as bad as that sounds. So I am unsure whether I should book it once I find a place or wait and see if I change my mind, though the price may go up. I will jump on the camino forum and ask advice on booking tickets safely.
So the walk was easy enough today, just a little muscle fatigue in the legs. I took it slow for the 13.8miles as I need to recover to walk 19miles tomorrow. The albergue I am in is nice enough, I am the only person here though as I think others opted to stay in the first place in town. This means I have my own room and should get a peaceful nights sleep with no need for ear plugs, result. So I should be well rested for tomorrow.
So that is it really, quite a short one as not a lot has happened. Feeling good but tired due to a lack of sleep, think I will try and get to bed for 7-8pm tonight.
Hi Drew.
ReplyDeleteI think you need info like your passport number etc to tally with your ticket/boarding pass. If you can get the tickets booked I think you get a password etc and log-in to Ryanair to print your boarding pass etc. (If you flew out with Ryanair you will know all that anyway.) That could be done in Santiago, if you haven't managed before. Just make sure you have enough time to do it as charges for turning up without are punitive.
Hi Bro, I think you shouldn't make any hasty decisions about when to finish your trip......if you book a ticket now you may live to regret it! Take every opportunity you can, you're only young and carefree once! Not much going on here apart from lots of baby clubs.....we do baby massage classes now which is very amusing. If the teacher wants emma on her front then she keeps rolling on to her back and if the techer wants her on her back then she keeps rolling on to her front. All she wants to do is grab the other babies and play with them/make mischief! much love, sisiter mary clarence xxx
ReplyDeleteexperience again, so go man go.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would love you home I want you to enjoy this pilgrim, find yourself & enjoy.

As Mom & Jody say, enjoy, don't make rash decisions. Over my many years on this mortal coil (i hear your muffled laughs) i have learnt that everything happens for a reason & that there is a certain law of attraction. As you have seen for yourself, you needed water it appeared etc. If you want something bad enough it will come. If you decide to extend your journey then you'll find the will.
ReplyDeleteGo with the flow little bro.
Stay safe
Keep the faith
