I don't think I mentioned anything about the albergue last night. Imagine if you will a rugby club house,very large changing room with a separate bar and entertainment area, that about fits the description of where i stayed. Although Tobias and I arrived I'm good time ie 1pm, there were already people there. The albergue eventually filled with 90 people in double bunks. Sleeping next to me was an older lady from Brazil.

Supper turned out to be really great. Rice again but in a different way, still tasty though,followed by a large slice of baked potato with fruit to follow.

Mark and Elise had left much earlier than me, so had Julie the born again budist from Canada and Otto a crazy man from Dresden who couldn't speak any English.
