Meron Playa

Two late arrivals, Julia and Victor, from Germany, made 14 last night ... and a convivial breakfast this morning ... late departers too ... testing Luisa by requesting a service wash .... a good connection last night and this morning ... common ground philosophically ... a Krishnamurti connection too .... suggesting "the late pilgrims", Victor picked up the unintended double entendre ... his Rumanian family moved to Germany when he was four ...

Last evening's rain having cleared, it was time for a walk east to Oyambre and a great view for miles along the coast in both directions ... and to the Picos, high peaks snow covered ... the route goes round them ... cycling pilgrim from yesterday spoke of route to Astorga from Santa Toribio ... an option for another day ... return barefoot in the surf, soothing the bruise ... musing on patterns in sand as waves wash in, then out again ... surfers finding good breakers ...

Giselle and Rolf, from Germany, and Alina, from Denmark, first in at opening time .... then Ricardo from Italy ... Mathieu, mysteriously appears after travelling with Pierre as far as San Sebastian ... escapes to the next albergue after saying hello and filling water bottles ... a longish break before Marie arrives, on a new route ... Porto to Santiago, back on the Primitivo, over to the Liebanese ...another pause before Brigitte, last seen in San Sebastian arrives with two men in tow ... Carlo from Italy, Andreas from Spain ... then Casuela and Marianne then Norberto from Germany ... Anne from Switzerland ... who appears to be not only on the same wavelength, but also buzzing on the same frequency ...
