One of the benefits of hostel living, as well as the low cost, is the opportunity to meet interesting folks from around the world ... as previously observed ... the picture shows Peter from Holland and Jens and Reena from Germany ... the latter leaving today for Lisbon and the night train to Hendaye ... and an early bout of philosophy delays this morning's walk, though there was no firm plan ... Jens seeking something, having identified the adoption of his father's successful plant nursery business as a problem ... the creation of the father not meeting the existential needs of the son ... a common enough problem though no less painful for that ... anyway, a warm connection and maybe to be continued ...
Last night James arrived in Room 103 from Alvor and Atlanta, Georgia via Chicago ... seeking respite from Trumpistan .... a long conversation continues this morning over pastries at the French bakery before he heads for Santo Antonio and a trip to Ayamonte on the ferry across the Guidiana ... Bernardo vacated his bunk after missing out in the qualifying round, whilst Thomas moves to a double room as he progresses, a solid night's sleep helpful for peak performance ... Ivan, Spanish chef working the dreaded split shifts, continues as longer term roommate as he sorts out finances for winter let of nearby apartment ... with pool ...
This morning's later start means a rerun of the circular walk to Barril (previously misspelled Barill) and back along the beach ... slightly cooler today as Sun hides a little behind thin cloud ... reconciled to a minimum of 10 days before teeth completion and settling in Tavira until next appointment Saturday, then maybe a new adventure for a week before, hopefully, final fitting ... and a quick Camino. ..
