Well spent an hour being talked at in Spanish at last nights meeting in the AdP but at least we got some info about today's route and more importantly about a place to stay on the way. By the book this section is more than 50kms long with no info about accommodation along the way. However, we heard last that the Cafeteria Nimon in St CdB had beds. So using my trusty friend google maps each for the place and saved it in my phone for later. After the meeting there was a communal dinner which made a distinct change from the standard fare although vegetables were still mostly missing if you don't count potatoes. Spent most of the first part of the. Other listening to the frogs chorus snored by mike and a Spanish chap in perfect disharmony until I kicked mikes foot. Up and had breakfast which started at 0730. Don't really see the point of hanging around for some dry bread and overly sweet marmalade washed down with a bowl of 'fighting' coffee. Still it stopped mike wanting to halt at every bar! Walk was fairly simple to Somo with a very boring flat straight bit on a cycle track next to a highway for a few kilometres. Waited 30 mins for the short ferry trip over to Santander and then had the boring flog through the city. The last 10 km gradually got better until we missed a marker somewhere and ended up next to a very large motorway. Had to find a bridge over and then after a detour of a out 3km got back on track. Very glad at this point to have the cafe in maps as it would have been very hard to locate otherwise. Still in a good room with two single beds that once again look more like a double - at least mike should get a good nights sleep again! Plan to go out and get a few bits from the supermarket later but this time will bring them back to the room before we go out for dinner!
