This albergue is much more strictly run than most, with segregated dormitories, no alcohol allowed and lights on at 6.10am. Antonio looks after us and he runs a tight ship. Some people resent these rules, but after the sights and smells of the previous nights I looked forward to a quiet night and for the first time I slept right through the night.
Today Michael and I will spend the day looking around the town, which will be great but I feel a strange regret that I won't be walking. Only 2 weeks to go and I then have to confront normal life again. It will be a real change.

Are you going to take up long-distance walking when you're home? The 7 bridges walk is on next weekend -the walk that from memory Tonia and her husabnd are doing. It's to raise money for the Cancer Council. In retrospect you could have been sponsored to raise money for a good cause, like the Matthew Talbot Hostel!!! Maybe on your next Camino! The Bendictine alberge sounds beautiful - and yes a respite from your previous night's experience! Elaine
ReplyDeleteDag Paul, wandelen in Leon is ook wandelen. Geniet van die mooie Spaanse stad en dan de bergen in. Ook fijn dat je bij die Zusters het avondgebed hebt gevierd. Dat zijn allemaal unieke camino ervaringen. Niet beginnen met te hard treuren, er zal nog leven zijn na de komende twee weken. Groeten aan je schoolvriend. Bart
