We were happy to leave our overcrowded unheated albergue and all the snorers but were not happy to encounter rain after a few kilometres. The gentle rain turned into steady rain after a few more kms and we were very happy to finally find a cafe after 8kms. Atomic ana had arrived many minutes before everyone else and someone feeling sorry for her had bought her a drink.
