The 'Primitive Way'

Out with Nic,Hugh & Havier & a French guy for beers last night.Good meal across from hotel.Decent nights sleep.had a good breakfast at our hotel this Saturday morning (9th).Nic & I set off shortly after 8am.Karen waving us off from the hotel balcony.
The weather was the best I have had on the Camino.Completely blue sky.Altho it got warmer as the day wore on it only got to the top end of comfortable.feet in (relatively) good order.First half of day a climb of 1,300'.Was reasonably gentle - great views.Hugh rang us from further down the Way (travelled by bus-injured)big problem with accommodation...
Eventually got to Pola de Siero -about 18/19 ml from 'Vicious Town'.Had abit of a struggle with rooms.A french couple put us onto a 3 star hotel (80euros).
Been to Mass in a beautiful Church -fairly full.At 50 yrs I was in bottom 10% in age -worse than home!
About to go for dinner in hotel.
Oviedo Sunday - only 15km.
Thanks for updates Fi.
