The next morning after a great sleep we left the luxury of our room and went down stairs and had breakfast with Tony and Clare.....we may not see them again as they were having a rest day.....am sure we will catch up with them in Adelaide when we get home .....I would love to have explored the village a lot further...it really was a beautiful place....we have both decided to forward on our backpacks.....Jacqui's back was benefiting from not carrying her pack.....this time it was much easier to organise....our hosts who were a lovely young Polish couple had bought their casa rural as a run down house and had done it all up beautifully.....and they spoke english so with the help of Tony and Clare's knowledge of the company that carries backpacks around and our hosts it was all organised for us rather quickly.....Our hosts recommended another private albergue to stay at and had are packs sent there.....two nights of spoiling our selves.....
Oh and my lost gloves have turned up.....Jacqui had them wrapped up in her sleeping bag..... We didn't have a lot of climbing today but it was drizzly rain most of the day and of cause cold. We stopped in at a free trade place for lunch....it was the only one we saw.....they had real muesli....I had a bowl with yoghurt and strawberries and a cup of coffee......my but it was gooood.....Jacqui had a big bowl of soup with hot toast.....I got a piece of toast and butter and jam just cause it was freshly toasted and hot.....we didn't want to leave....I suggested that if he got vegemite he would have every aussie calling in....
The scenery was changing again we followed a river most of the day.....starting to get hilly and very wet and similar to how are walk started in the first few days...lovely....
I feel that my mind is back on the camino again...after the phone call from the kids it has constantly pulled my thoughts back to them and then I start to think about the others at home hoping all is ok with everyone...not that I dont think about everyone but when I walk, someone will just pop into my head and then I will just wander with the thoughts in a lazy way in between admiring the surroundings, walking and enjoying life...so it is definately nice to be back on track.....
We passed Bruce in his van.....he keeps popping up along the way.... Got to our albergue at about 3pm....It had amazing views from this enclosed glass dining room.... We went and showered then went down and had a coffee then went back to the room ....we ended up eating bread and cheese in our room and didn't bother going down to tea... Jacqui was asleep by 7.30 and I watched CSI on TV...Its the only thing we ever seem to be able to get to speak english to us....
