Tarrega?‏

Hola!

I cant quite remeber the name of wherever we are at the moment! Were Back on the camino though! Well kinda anyway! We got Lleida and got to the tourist info place and found a really nice woman who reall tryed hard to help us! Gave us all sorts of maps (One of which, of all Cataloña, has all the albergues highlighted along the way to barcalona with green highlighter so its pretty easy- just look at the highlighted places and ride as far as we want!) And good places to go and visit along the way and lots of helpful things like that!

And we found the Albergue there (youth hostal really) And they were really nice as well and forgot to charge us and gave us breakfast! It was all good! So yeah! Now were on the "Camino Libre" that leads all the way to Barcalona!

Anyway! Zaragoza was very pretty and the cathederal is the biggest (though not the most impresive) ive seen so far! The crowds there were ridiculous though- I havnt seen crowds that big in a while- ver scary! I guess its just a taster of what christmas shopping in manchester is gonna be like! There was a q that stretched to the horizon of people who wanted to kiss a statue of the "Virgen" !!!!?

When we left Zaragoza- heading to Lleida- it was all pretty flat and the wind was silly- but going our way- We managed to make 50k in under 2 hours- hows that for fast! And today was easy- had a map! with a lot of places we could go so no stress and so far its pretty acurate! Though i wont trust it completely!

The most exiting thing that happened over the past 2 days really is i fell off my bike The people on the camino are so nice! When i fell off my bike i landed pretty well so wasnt hurt at all but the car passing the other way just slowed down an stared at me as i got up an dusted myself of- cheers for the support ya ******! I could be hurt ya know!? Anyway thats it really! sorry!

I think our route tomorrow takes us through a national park (with an albergue in the middle!) and there is 1000 somthing m mountain in the middle so i might talk bethan into takin a day off to climb a mountain- weve got plenty of time to Barcalona! Wish us luck!

Deri
