2-June-2016 Colonga to Villaviciosa 18km

A short days walk today, breakfast was included with the room price but didn't start untul 8.30am, we decided we could afford the time. It was a very basic cup of coffee, toast and jam. We started walking as the the chuch bells chimed nine.
The days walk was nothing special about 3/4 of it on road.
As we were about to enter Sebrayo two French guys has set up a road side cafe, it has everything, French champagne, biscuits, salami, ham hanging, wine and beer and coffee. We had a nice cup of brewed coffee and a seat. Enoungh to recharge the batteries. When we came to the cafe there were already 3 French walkers, while we were seated, two more from France and a guy from Denmark turned up. The biggest crowd of walkers we have seen on this trip.
We complete the remaining 6kms into town, arriving at the Congressor Hostel at 1.00pm. Got the double room with ensuite and breakfast included for 15€ each, perfecto . We both had a bath each with our washing, then went in search of a big lunch, went to a local Sideria (Cider bar) ordered a bottle of cider for 2.50€, (which was all it was worth), I had a big plate of chilli chick peas with pork bits (mainly skin), Lynette had the tuna salad which was huge, bread came as accompaniment. Saw Paul and Penny (Aussie couple we met yesterday) arrive to the same hostel and said hello.
After lunch was a nana nap. About 5.00pm we went to explore town. Walked around a lot, had an ice-cream. Went to the Santa Maria church, bought some fruit and rice pudding (yoghurt for Lynette) went back to the hostel around 9.00pm to eat and watch some TV shows on the tablet.
One week walking down and the blisters have almost healed.
