The Boys are Back in Town - Oviedo, Spain
Another transit day but I'm finally very close to getting back on the path. And once again, I'll be with my Camino brother Dan!
The very good hotel breakfast was followed by a long 4 1/2 hour bus ride to Oviedo. Although it rained for the first couple of hours, the scenery was beautiful - especially when the ocean was in view. With Dan's love of the sea, I can understand his desire to leave the Camino Podiensis in France and walk the Camino Norte along Spain's northern coast. I've put the Norte on my list for another time.
I met Dan and his new Camino family at the albergue mid-afternoon and after a quick check-in, we went for a wander to the cathedral square. Grabbing a refreshment, we sat at a cafe and began to plan/negotiate the next several days of our walk. The Primitivo is a very popular Camino with limited facilities so we need to book a few days in advance. We will see how this turns out.
Supper was had sitting outdoors under a beautiful evening sky and was followed by a walkabout and trip to the small grocery store to buy nourishment for tomorrow. It was a quiet evening afterwards as we prepared and rested for tomorrow's journey.
