Astorga to Rabanal del Camino 22km

Well today was the day of breaks... every village for far too long, every time. Excuse being we had a massive mountain in front of us and we were saving our energy for the following day... Quite a pretty walk but without and shade and intense heat we just had to stop for drinks along the way.. it took us 9 hours to complete 22km however we all arrived feeling great and ready for the following days challenge. The heat was definately prevalent in this pic..

We stayed in a private hostal for the night which felt very luxurious, we had shower curtains and their were laundry facilities.. quite astonishing really. Mothers - yes believe it or not we usually hand wash our clothes every day in buckets of cold water. Lovely, I know.
Early night to bed but not much sleep, had two award winning snorers in the room that absolutely no earplugs or ipods at full volume could block out!
