Astorga to Rabanal del Camino, started walking about 8 this morning , the weather threatening shower and possible thunderstorms.
Well some how avoided the rain, was having a coffee stop when one shower went over and had a bus stop to shelter in when another passed, so didn't have to drag the poncho out.
Any way made it to Rabanal del Camino at about 1pm .... walked mainly by myself today, but the walk is getting busier and busier .... with summer come the hordes, apparently. Find it easier to stay in the B+B's or the Private Albergues or a Hotel, you don't have to queue up, costs more but often private room with en-suite, worth it.
Keep on running into friendly faces from prior bits of the walk, its great to catch up.
Ran into a couple of Aussie Ladies today at the bar, haven't heard an Aussie drawl for ages, they are wombling ( a mix of waddling and rambling is how they explained it) along at 12 -15km a day and get there packs transported from place to place. Well everyone does it there way. You even come across people with donkeys to carry there gear or people with, trailer like things that attach at there waste????
Well again its after mid night so time to hit the hay.
