To A Roxica

October 4

To A Roxica 25km

It was "a walk in park", Julie said, but in the rain. The terrain was park-like going through hamlets and mountain hill-tops. It wasn't as cold as expected and the rain was warm on the skin. The cafe stops were few but at one stop we met 10 peregrinos looking for a warm drink and shelter from the rain. As we travelled up the mountain we could see wind turbines in the distance, and therefore not surprising the constant winds. Thank goodness our backpack covers are tied down otherwise they would have blown off. Today was our first albergue experience - common sleeping and dining area, which was an interesting experience. Met people from Holland and Germany and had interesting conversations about the current refugee crisis, VW scandal and reasons we are doing the Camino.  And Elan, the hostess served a fabulous meal. It made for a great evening.
