Woke up this morning to rain!! Ugh…but a quick look at weather forecasts suggested it would stop in about an hour, so I waited and sure enough, it did in fact stop as forecast. A short day today that wasn’t all that short. First about an hour walk to the end of the peninsula that Laredo is on, then small boat across. Then coffee with some other pilgrims and then took a somewhat sketchy route around the ocean side with some serious scrambling involved. Beautiful scenery. Noja is apparently a resort town and mainly populated in the summer. While it has a huge number of buildings, all the shutters are down and almost no one is here. My arrangers put my in a nice hotel but a good half hour walk from the camino and the town center. It is near a beautiful beach and I did find an ocean side bar for an Apero. But, wow this place is a ghost town. Hope I can get some dinner, and it will be more than half hour walk just to get back on the trail tomorrow. 23,000 steps.
