Rabanal del Camino

Hi there, today i walked aout 20 kms and arrived here at Rabanal del Camino from Astorga around 12.30pm. Left Astorga about 6am before breakfast, had breakfast on the road as usual. Cafe con leche, homemade banana cake and tostada con tomate y aceite - delicious! Here i eat anything i like because i´m burning everything off when i walk - i must have lost a bit of weight because my clothes are loose... Anyway, postre (dessert) and wine and/or beer everyday i cannot lose too much :) Here in rabanal i´m staying at a private albergue called Pillar, very nice, just next to the municipal albergue - 5 euros a night, just one euro more than the public albergue. it has a nice atmosphere... Tomorrow i intend to walk to molinaseca, about 27 km i think, going up and down hills, past the cruz de ferro... so it will be a harder day, a good day to test how my ankles and knees are holding... hopefully i´ll be ok... i think i´ll try and make a reservation at the private albergue there just in case i arrive too late... yesterday the albergue san javier got full before my brazilian camino friends arrived and they had to go to the nuns accommodation (15 euros per night)... today was dry, no rain for a change, after 4 days raining no stop... they say its going to rain again on tuesday though :( today australia plays in the world cup at 20.30 local time, will try and see the game if there´s a tv here, not sure, havent´seen any... ??
