Belardo via (Darwin)

Well, what a long way.  We set out this morning nice and early because we had a reservation that we were eager not to lose and we had to be in a town called Ages before 2pm. (Which is ahead of the guide book.  As accomodation is a premium it is a good idea to get out of sync with the book).  A 30km hike so we gunned it.  Through more wheat fields for the first 12km which led into a a lovely forest which had ferns and lovely little forest flowers.  We were flying.  We eventually arrived at our reserved Albergue and after having our passports taken and our shoes confiscated we were advised that they had doubled booked and we were to move on.  I wondered if our shoes were more offensive than the other sole pilgrim there but it turns out that as we  were  two people together he needed the rooms.  So he booked us into a hotel in the next town (we believed) and he even said he would take our bags there for us.  He didn't need to even try to understand my Spanish as I am sure the look on my face left him with no doubt that I wouldn't trust him to deliver a letter let alone my bag.  So we donned packpacks and set of at a temporous (invented word meaning I  was in a temper) pace to the next one horse town.  We couldn't find this hotel so I stopped a nice man and asked him where it was.  "No, not near here (but in Spanish)  was the answer.  Again no need to try to understand my Spanish.  He kindly offered to drive us.  So we have arrived once again at a truck stop 6 km off the track.  So tomorrow we will not only have to walk 6km back to the first one horse town we will also walk 2.5km that we have already walked trying to find the truck stop.  So I am feeling like a very cheated little pilgrim at the moment and the language that has been used by me this afternoon has left me wondering if I will be allowed into the next church we find.
Give  me strength!!!!! Friday the 13th.....what would you expect???
