After that lovely night's sleep we were super perky for another day of rainy walking weather.
Especially because we missed the breakfast we had paid for. Even though we were down there before the alleged finish time. Not happy. Hostelerios were nowhere to be found, so we went to the nearest bar and I got myself a coffee and the world's most indulgent muffin to console myself.
Then because we were officially on the Meseta now, we walked in a straight line for many kilometres.
If you look closely past the person you can clearly see in this picture, further up the path are many different coloured dots. These are all pilgrims. It was the weirdest sight:
We accidentally took an alternative camino path which was a couple of kilometres longer. Damn it, arrows! You failed us! Sure, it was a nice walk next to a canal, but it was pouring with rain, so super muddy and slippery. I just wasn't in the mood. One bonus: we did run into an Irishman, Terry, who we met a week or so earlier. Look at all this running into old friends that's happening!
Speaking of old friends, Santiago himself!
Arrived at Carrión and found excellent, very cheap private accommodation. Only €2 more than the previous night's shitty accomodation. Winning!
Ugh, are we there yet?!
