The plan was to catch a train at the Celorio train station and ride it to Ribadesella. The train was scheduled to arrive at Celorio at 7:20 AM. We got to the train station at 7:00 AM and spent some time with these teenage revelers.
It was Sunday morning and this group of Spanish teenagers had been out all night. They absconded with the road sign as a souvenir of their wild night. They were very wasted after drinking and raising hell all night. When they found out I was from Colorado they were extremely excited and wanted to know all about the Grand Canyon. It took me forever to explain to them that the Grand Canyon is in Arizona, not Colorado.
We waited and waited for the train’s arrival and at 8:00 AM one of the Wild Bunch called the train dispatcher. The train dispatcher told him that the train had been cancelled and the next train would be by at about noon. We decided to start walking to Ribadesella. The Wild Bunch decided they would nap until the next train arrived at the station.
We got to Ribadesella at about 4:00 PM after a 27 kilometer hot and sunny day. Marco started to feel very tired and chilled. We visited a pharmacy and the pharmacist said he had a severe sunburn on his legs and was probably suffering from mild heat stroke.
We could not find a place to stay in Ribadessella so we took a cab to Cangas de Onis and checked into a hotel to give Marco a chance to rest and recover from his sunburn and heatstroke. Dinner tonight was delicious. I had a huge fresh salad.
Today we walked 29 kilometers, took 37,000 steps and climbed the equivalent of 15 flights of stairs. The blog reached a milestone today, 10,000 views since I started it in 2018.
I hope you are having a great day wherever you are. Good night from Cangas de Onis, Spain.
