Meaningful Moment
On checking into the hotel, which we booked at the last minute because of our change of plans mentioned below, the hotel clerk gave us an upgrade to a business class room.
He said it's because we looked so tired lol and needed to rest.
Whatever the reason was, it was greatly appreciated
Random Thought of the Day
Met some really nice bartenders today:
Bell-loc d'Urgell: place looked like a hole in the wall but he was so full of smiles and he knew about the Camino.
Acoletge: full of info and very friendly, even though we looked awfully bedraggled at this point.
Both Deb and I are very tired tonight.
On the Road / Notable memories
Lots and lots of farm fields of crops of grain, fruit trees and some other things. Periods of industrial zones. Most walking was on dirt farm roads, which is much better than pavement.
Our original plan was to stop about 5 mi short in the small town of Alcoletge.
We had been phoning the albergue there, but no one was answering the phone. Usually that just means it's not possible to get in touch with someone, but if you show up at the albergue door, there'll be instructions to reach the contact person.
That did not turn out to be the case today, so we had to implement our fallback plan which was to press another 5 mi ahead to the city of Lleide.
It turned a 13 mi hike into a 18 mi hike.
Nice walk around Lleida with Deb tonight. Made it down to the river Segro.
Had a really great dinner, drink and dessert in the hotel.
