Thur 29 Sep - Pleasant evening in LVdC with what may be the last meal with Claire and Sara as they are keen to reduce their days to SdC and want to walk further than we plan to tomorrow. So buon camino C and S, we hope you have a good trip. I think that C is just trying to avoid cooking a meal as she has spent so much time telling us what a good cook she is! Also managed to find smeagol's (Ian's) favourite food last night which I know should be 'fishesss' but is really lasagne. Managed to take some pictures of 'The Shire' in the last 2 days so you will be able to see a Hobbit and his house when I next upload the photos. Cannot upload yet as there is only wifi here at the moment and I think the speed will be too slow using my tablet. It was an overcast day to start with but quite mild. COP start but it was 8hrs and19kms before anywhere was open and then breakfast was an icecream! Now stopped at Villares de Orbigo in a new AdP that is very nice. Only 2 beds in the room with a communial bathroom and a lovely courtyard, all for 10 euros each. They have a kitchen that we can use and our selling the local, good, wine for 2 euros a bottle. We head through Astorga tomorrow and the final stop is tbc depending on how hot and tired we feel tomorrow.
