I still seem to be suffering from this mild virus in spite of feeling a little better yesterday. I was able to walk 7kms to Rabanal but I was too tired to make the 7kms climb to my Albergue. I wasn’t sure how I was actually going to get there either.
Well the Camino provided. Just outside of the first cafe´ was a taxi. He was picking someone up and two others from another hostel nearby. I asked him how much to get to Foncebadon. He said 10euros. Done deal. It could have been a lot more.
There is a community dinner here tonight so at least I’ll be fed. Yesterday at the town’s only restaurant, the kitchen closed at 3:00. I arrived at 3:15. I made do with a stale croissant and a cup of tepid coffee. I was too tired and annoyed to go back when they opened again at 7:00. Sigh
It’s been sunny almost everyday. The Albergues for the most part have been very accommodating and the food, when I get it is very good. I will walk about 11kms tomorrow with most of it being down hill.
I should also mention that in booking through Whatsapp, I inadvertently confused two hostels. I sent my backpack to one hostel, however, when I arrived they had no record of my booking. They looked at my phone and realized that it was the hostel across the street. They called the hostel, got it all sorted out and transported my backpack there, when it arrived. This is the kindness of the Camino. Dazed and confused in Foncebadon!
Buen Camino
