Day 9

​Logroño

We had a day off in Logroño. Although we feel pretty good, it was nice to have a repair day. We slept in until 8:00 am, which felt fantastic! We had breakfast in the hotel and then took a walk to a lavanderia to do laundry. We went through our bags and identified items that we were not using and then found a Mailbox Etc. International to send them home. It was a very productive day! 

​At the end of the blog, we will post what equipment and personal items we brought and what we identified we did not need.

As I’ve mentioned, the Spanish eat dinner late. Restaurants did not start serving dinner last night until 9:00 pm. That is a bit problematic when you need to get up around 5:00 am to start the Camino. I inquired with the hotel about restaurants that serve food all day. There was one not too far away.  Here it is, 6:30 pm on a Friday night, and we have already had dinner and are sitting in our room drinking wine. Tomorrow’s leg of the Camino is over 18 miles, so we bought some things for breakfast so we can get an early start.

We head to Najera tomorrow.

Here is where we did laundry with a pic of Greg waiting patiently with a beer.
