Rabidiso to Santa Irene

From Rabidiso we departed just after 7h30, still under the cover of darkness.
We were not in to much of a hurry, although as we get closer to Santiago accommodation seem to become more crowded. We asked the Spanish lady at the aubergh in Rabidiso to call the next 2 places we wanted to stay in and make a booking.
As it turned out some of the messages got lost in translation, and we were supposed to be at the next auberg before 12pm or phone ahead and advise that we will be arriving after midday, so when we arrived there we were told that there was no more rooms left.




Frustrated we took our packs and headed down the road to the public auberg. They did have rooms and we quickly moved into our 16 bunked bedded dormitory. This has already became an established ritual of making beds, and being sure to place a bedbug sheet on the mattress, taking a quick shower, and then washing the dirty laundry of the day.
Also this auberg did not have any perigrino meals so we had to walk back the 1000m to Santa irine to have dinner




It was a mission to sleep, because of heat, masses of people each in its own sleeping bag that makes a noise and the beds that squeak as people turn over, coughing, sniffing, snoring, and sometimes farting. It helps to be prepared with sleep induced by antihistamines, and a good set of earplugs
