Sorry to leave you hanging with "Heartbreak Hotel", I am pleased to report the next morning I woke up feeling almost as fresh as when I first started! As I walked I picked up a Polish man who had sausage business, he was having a holiday from sausages (he wasn't even eating Chorizo). Then further on we accumulated a beautiful Lithuanian girl from London (Yay! London chat!). She had just started so I felt somewhat like a veteran and passed on all my accumulated Camino wisdom, giving them both advice on which route to take today. Luckily they both left me at the first coffee stop as I went on to get lost. I was trying to take a more scenic route but ended up looping back onto the road way. Later on though I found a way to get the scenic route, adding a couple of kilometres onto my walk but well worth it in the end. Doing this also reunited me with a few friends and the Lithuanian (she had found some other Pilgrims that had taken her on the same route I came so I allowed myself to feel wise again).
A group of us ended up at Casa de Jesus (Jesus' house). This was a family run enterprise with a wooden sail boat in the back garden and inside the walls were completely covered with graffiti from previous pilgrims. The daubings varied in their levels of inspiration and offensiveness. Here were a few of my favourites...
And I of course left my own piece of inspiration...
After a reccy of the two "supermarkets" our best option looked like a vegetable chilli with a bit of chorizo thrown in. A team effort produced a rather lovely meal which was washed down with a little wine and finished off with cake from the party going on next door (the Spanish are CONSTANTLY partying!). During the meal we were entertained by Eddy a Korean girl showering Christian (Hungarian Viking) with compliments on his long hair and soft face.
