Approx. 15 miles; good weather; somewhat hazy skies
Stephen prepared a lavish breakfast.
I had arranged a ride with Victor who had driven us the day before. He arrived promptly at nine at the designated pick up spot (only permitted cars can enter the area where our apartment is located).
We rode back to La Calzada de Bejar to begin our walk of the day.
Shortly after leaving La Calzada de Bejar, we ran into Rudy (the German pilgrim). He told us that he had a cold (!), had just taken a rest day and was planning a short stage. We gave him a wide berth but he didn’t seem that anxious to chat.
Fuenterroble de Salvatierra (pop.260) sits at the very edge of the Meseta.
I called Victor from the local bar. We had only just finished our small beers when he arrived. To our surprise, an American pergrina ran up to photograph the phone number on the car, shouting ”A taxi. A taxi”
Victor drove us back to Hervas and I arranged a pickup of 9:00 am on Tuesday. (No manana!)
We walked around Hervas a bit and then ate left over pasta and cucumbers and tomatoes chez Stephen.
