Crazy mountain village

Day 12: Leon – Foncebadon
Time: 5:02:12
Distance: 75.01km
Average Speed: 14.9km/h

Both tail lights we started with have now been smashed so we waited for a bike shop to open to replace them and put more air in the tires. Our bikes were stored in a garage up the road from the hostel that was like a maze inside. Because of all this we left pretty late today. We spent most of the day climbing and ended up in Foncebadon as soon as it was dark. This is one of the most insane villages I've ever been to. There are no roads and a family of goats were running around the back of the hostel. The hostel was completely full of pilgrims with about a quarter being Korean. A Korean wrote a book about the Camino which has inspired a lot of Koreans to walk across Spain. We arrived just in time for a cold shower and dinner. The ear plugs that I packed were very useful for sleeping in the dorm.
