17 August 2015 Stage 26: Villafranca - O'Cebriero

Me, Wouter, Timi and Steffi walked together, but then I was walking ahead and somehow got really far ahead. I stopped at a truck stop gas station to pee and thought they'd passed when I was inside, so I started walking really fast and then stopped in Ambas Mesetas. I asked Carlos, who was sitting at the café there, if Timi had passed by him and he said no. Then I was really really confused. I waited there for a while and then Steffi came and told me Wouter was sick so he and Timi stopped walking. Steffi and I kept walking and in Herrerías decided to do the horse ride to O'Cebriero. It was us and the Canadian couple. My horse was named Morita. She was very nice but really wanted to snack. Riding a horse with a backpacking backpack on was interesting. And wow does my butt hurt! I am glad I rode the horses, but I am definitely still not great with horses. I got more comfortable as we went on, but it was still stressful. The views were beautiful though. Steffi and I have a hostel here. We went to the store and just bought random things and ate in our room. Now we're eating cookies in bed. We have the cutest little windows, which I think Jacquelyne would like.
