We've decided to take train Ferrol, walk the Camino Ingles, which is 116km. A continually changing schedule, challenging for me.
Meds help me sleep, but I'm hacking like a smoker. Albergue was stuffed with 30+ people last night. I went to bed at 8, ear plugs in ready for night. The symphony of snoring was faint, but constant.
Headed out about 830. First coffee stop, no WiFi. Walked to location we could get WiFi, but unable to get train schedule online, we walked to train station. Train leaves at 1050, 4 hour trip to Ferrol.
Went back to town, got breakfast, and more coffee. Paulette got opportunity to go in kitchen and get lesson on meat balls. She was a happy camper.
Walked back to train station to wait for train. Met wonderful local man, has great love for jazz and blues music. He spoke little English but enough to communicate his love for music.
Train arrived, we find seats and don't move for 4 hours. Longest that we've been still, with exception to sleeping, on this trip.
Had nice relaxing train ride. Arrived, got taxi to the hostel, which is closed until 5 and it's 3. We find bar with WiFi, get drinks and sit til 5.
So, we sat til 5, doing nothing. Had to call number, because she never showed up. She didn't have room, we went to another hostel. Better location, nicer people.
Now we are heading to Decathlon store, see if I can get charging cable for my fitbit, which I accidentally shipped home. Keeping fingers and toes crossed.
No luck at Decathlon store, but Paulette bought a Fitbit. Hoping to get it up and running soon. Mine is dead in water until I get home.
The shopping adventure took several hours, taking bus around just adds time to your trip. We went out for dinner and returned to room. It was late for us, after 10 and we were both pretty tired.
Took showers, meds, and went to bed.
Tomorrow we may be sticking around another day, do some site seeing and resting. Then we hit the trail to Santiago de Compostela.
Day Sixteen Done!
