Mario and I set off at sunrise through the hills and by noon my knee had buckled again. I had to walk to a nearby town a few kilometres away to catch a bus to Oviedo whilst Mario carried on. I waited in the 32° heat for an hour until the bus arrived and when I made it to the albergue I was shocked to see Mario was already there! Covering 20+km in 2-3 hours I couldn't believe it, that's because he had injured himself as well and took the train; what a pair we make.
