28KM = Tired

The following post was supposed to be put up 2 days ago, but the internet shut off just as I was about to post it, so here it is! See above for update since then!

So being the ambitious girls we are we decided to walk about 28k today from Logrono to Najera. This number sounded very intimidating to me at first, but decided I should push myself and see how it goes. Turns out, it went very well! We left the very uncomfortable hostel around 6am this morning, and walked until about 2:30 this afternoon. The landscape was really nice, tons of fields of grape vines growing along the path, a small mountain to climb and a few kilometres of highway.....not so nice, but at least a change of scenery. Upon arrival in Najera, I immediately took a nap, followed by a shower, then dinner, and now I am heading back to bed! ( yep, it´s 7:30pm......oh well!)



I´ll just take a moment to described the hostel situation we endured last night....it was something special. The hostel had three floors, and as you went up, each floor got progressively hotter. We of course, were on the third floor. So, we start with a really hot room, where having the windows open does nothing for the heat. Add in about 40 hot, sweaty people, no air conditioning, a few snorers, and an emergency light right above your bunk ( Jess was on the top, so she got the light in her face all night ), and you have the recipe of very little sleep. Believe me, waking up at 5:30 this morning was welcomed, because it meant we didn´t have to spend one more second in the worst room ever. In addition to this sleeping situation, the people that ran the hostel weren´t particularly friendly, we weren´t allowed to eat our dinner outside on the patio, and there were so many people, it was impossible to function. Needless to say, we were happy to leave Logrono this morning!



So we have another day of walking tomorrow, so well see where the Camino takes us!
