The rain in spain....


we have had two days of rain so that combined with the dirt pathways means walking in mud glorius mud..... actually Nick with our ponchos on all in a row we look like little hobbits..... so yes very Lord of the rings indeed just little hunchbacked ones - wish I could figure out how to add photos while on a hostel computer. The rain had been steady all day but came down in a huge downpour just as we came to a village of Belarado - unfortunately this scattered the pilgrims each to the first alburgues they could find anyway - imagine our amazement again when we met up with Jeremy, D.J, Dean and another Korean lad called Park - we had a wonderful pilgrim meal that night - unfortunately i think we were on the local pub circuit so we heard the revellers most of the night - not too mention the snoring ( there is always the snoring) the drunkards were still outside our door when we left yesterday morning ...... a small group of local lads they started following us and chanting.. pilgrim pilgrim take the bus..... these words echoed in my head the rest of the day¨, the bus sounds like a very good idea.... let me tell you about the alburgue rules - we pilgrims have to be home and in bed by 10pm each night and gone by 7am..... the younger ones are finding this a bit hard but last night I was thankful that all my boys were tucked up in bed.
