Day 3

I had expected to sleep like a baby after all the walking but I probably only slept for five hours. This however was not due to snoring. Several people had warned me about the loud snoring I would encounter but of the 13 people (mainly men) I was sharing a dorm with only one was snoring at medium volume.

Jam and bread to start the day again and then we set off into the snow spurred on by a Korean chap with a beautiful voice singing us a song. I was really impressed with this guy, his English was very limited but he did his very best, blurting out random aspects of Korean culture we might know such as "Gangnam style" and "Ji-Sung Park". He got very excited when I shouted "Korean BBQ" back at him.

Halfway through the day we suddenly emerged from our winter wonderland. This was a relief as conditions were icy and I had slipped onto my bum already. Most of the day was spent walking with a fellow Brit who was mainly doing the Camino to evade Tax. He'd just come from working in Africa and needs to stay out of the country for a few more weeks. We had some nice chat and he got me thinking about maybe working on an Oil Rig in the future.

During the day I became separated from my Camino dad and when we reached todays Aubergue was very sad to find out he had carried on further. Maybe he decided I would be too much of a drain on his resources if we went all the way to Santiago together.

The village we are staying in has no restaurants this time of year so I bought some supplies from the "supermarket" (a little farm shop ") and with some help from the other Brit David cooked up a hearty pasta meal for us and four other Pilgrims. After the meal we gave ourselves Pilgrim names. So I, Jane the Baptist am sharing a dorm with King David, St. Anthony, Jesus, The Prophet and The Son of James. Jesus and The Prophet are currently still knocking back a few bottles of €2,50 red wine from the Supermarket. I personally am saving myself for walking through the Rioja region!
