NARRATIVE: This was a tough day for Tere. She didn't want to wait until 13:00 to take the bus and her leg felt better, so she wanted to walk. There was no way she could walk with her pack so we dropped it off at a hotel who said they would call Jacotrans for us.
The first 15 km went well. We stopped for a big lunch in Las Herrerias ( oh yeah, overcooked pasta with unseasoned tomato sauce for me - my favorite, but the salad and flan were great!). Once we left the village, there was a dirt trail climb up to La Faba, which killed Tere. Thankfully, the pack was there waiting for us when we got there, but no beds. We decided to walk the 2 1/2 kms to La Laguna, which was, once again straight up on dirt. (Honestly, these climbs were gradual and a good grade, nothing breathtaking - we've certainly climbed a lot harder) I went on ahead to the albergue, then returned for Tere's pack. She was in major pain by the time she got there.
I had a great shower and our room has 5 single beds + 1 bunk. A welcome change!
