10 de junho de 2010 (Leon)

Leon
Hi there, I´m in Leon after walking 29km under rain again! It was raining the whole time, it was also cold and windy! Not pleasant, to say the least... I left Reliegos at 6.30am... I meant to leave at 5.30am, got up just before 5, got ready and left when it was still dark... then i couldn´t find the way out of the pueblo of Reliegos... the signage was missing at places and very confusing at times... in the dark, even with my torch, i could hardly see anything... decided to go back to the albergue and wait until the next peregrino were ready to leave... well, the first pilgrim to get ready after me left only at 6.30am! so i wasted an hour of sleep for nothing... but never mind, it could be worse... like if i had gone back and nobody answered the door (the door only opens from inside) i´d have to wait another hour in the dark and in the cold and rain outside... well, after i joined other 2 pilgrims at 6.30am to leave the pueblo, it was already day light... much better to see but we still all got lost a couple of times... in the end, i was the one helping them find their way... Despite this start, i got here in Leon quite early, at about 12.30am just before the albergue opened... (stayed at the municipal albergue - quite simple but ok, free internet)... today i stopped just once at mansilla de las mullas for breakfast, i was walking quite fast so got there just before 8am, had breakfast at this bar which is part of a private albergue (el jardin del camino) - a great albergue, it´s new and very modern, has a great bar... i asked the girl at the bar where i could get info about the world cup games and she gave me a brochure with all the games printed, dates and times, groups everything... very friendly... when i left she said brazil will win... i said yes, final brazil and spain
