Sleeping on the Camino!

Where we sleep is a big deal on the Camino because we have to accept what we get, or we may have to walk another 5 or 10 kilometres to get to the next "albergue" or "refugio" which may be worse. Sometimes we sleep in great places such as at old monastery in Roncesvalles where there is plenty of fresh air:


This is the new albergue in Pamplona which was built within a monastery which is very nice:


Sleeping in the old church steeple in GraƱon was wonderful; my bed was the brown mat in front of Vanja, the Slovenian girl in pink, and my bag pack and gear are at the end of it:


The Ermita de San Nicolas (mentioned in previous blog) where there was no electricity and where eleven of us ate and sang together by candlelight was the best. Our beds are behind the red divider by the door:


The wonderful albergue at Boadilla del Camino where we had one of the very few days of sunshine so far:



At other times we have to sleep in places which test us all, squashed up together in a room such as the one below in the monastery of Santo Domingo de la Calzada where 6 of us slept together in a tiny room:




Love to all,
