Rabanal del camino to Molinaseca – 28 kms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was probably the most interesting walk so far.<\/p>\n

We saw a man doing Camino on a unicycle. I thought I’d videod him but I hadn’t.<\/p>\n

We were wandering along when a snake came at me. I screamed then stopped and tried to take a step back, but Mike was blocking my path.<\/p>\n

‘What is it now?’ he asked, used to my screaming.<\/p>\n

Too terrified to say anything I just pointed and we both stayed silent as a large snake slithered across the road in front of us and into the bushes.<\/p>\n

A moment’s silence, then we continued, hoping it wouldn’t jump back out at us. It didn’t.<\/p>\n

Other than that there was a lot of dowhill. I’d heard there was a dangerous rocky downhill into molinaseca and people were recommending to go down the road. This was plastered all over Facebook and the Camino forums.<\/p>\n

I thought I also would go down the road because of my knee. I waited for the danger signs. They didn’t happen. I waited for the steep downhill. It didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

Next thing we’re in Molinaseca and I’m wondering what all the fuss was about. As far as I was concerned, it1 was the most interesting walk on Camino so far.<\/p>\n

We sat by the river, had a couple of beers, then ordered a pilgrim dinner. It was different to most meals and was quite yummy.<\/p>\n

After dinner we bumped into some people from south America who we’ve said hello to on the trail weeks ago but we’ve never officially met.<\/p>\n

When we met it was like we were old friends, even though they can’t speak English and we can’t speak south American. It’s a kinda weird camaraderie between walkers when they’ve walked 800 odd kms together.<\/p>\n

We also bumped into close Walker, but he was taxiing to ponferadda as he’s on a tight schedule.<\/p>\n
