Oviedo, Again !!!
... up like the klu klux klan !!!
After a few beers, I went back to the albergue and spoke to the people there. It appeared that I was the only one starting there and the only one on a bike, so I gave them my advice on what was to come over the next couple of days.
And so tomorrow is the start of Camino number three, the first on a bike, and I am now ready to go ...
Piñeres - Gijon 78 km
às 7 da matina já estávamos de rabo alapado no selim, pois a jornada prometia ser longa. E posso agora disser com convicção que estou apta a subir à serra da estrela!

Day 22 (4 July ): Oviedo to Escamplero (10 km done, 295 to go)
I woke up this morning in the Jesuit Community and didn't want to go; I had a bit of a sore head from going out cider tasting last night (one of the Jesuits, Fermin, brought me out with some Christian Life Community (CLC) friends & we had a brilliant conversation, peace process etc.), and I was weary of this Camino thing.
