August 14th Colombres

It was a low foggy night with stars overhead. A damp packing up and very early departure.
It was a quiet country road and then a crossing of a long bridge to the edge of St Vicente de la Barquera.
Lovely changing countryside.
After a short break along came Sebastien, twirling his stick.
We stopped off for omelette and coffee, then after a bit it was a lovely woodland path before a descent, river crossing and steep ascent, before a quiet path into Unquera.
A resupply at a supermarket then a steep uphill into Colombres.
The large albergue would not have campers, so we walked on to a campsite. They were adamant that they were full.
So after a bit of messing about we settled down at a nearby picnic spot for the night.
Sebastien had remet a nice young german woman who shared his tiny tent. 4 peoples food made a great potluck dinner, with beer from the campsite shop.
The days downside was not being able to get a shower.
