Semana Santa!

I made a mistake on my way back. I should have asked in Vigo how long the bus to Oviedo needs. I thought 4 hours, but I arrived in Oviedo at 1am in the night. So I was in Oviedo, didn't know where a youth hostal is or if one exist. But at the bus station was a tourist information with a map. I saw one albergue, made a foto of the map and started walking - uphill!!!

I reached the albergue at 2 in the night and the guy said it is full. He didn't understand me aksing if I can sleep the next day there. Then I went to the next park, tried to sleep on a stone bank, but with 5 degrees and wind it was absolutely too cold. I was back at the busstation at 5 and waited in front of it. After the opening I went inside and slept little bit, because it was warmer there. At 9am the tourist information was open and I could ask for some cheep hostal. Ok, Oviedo only has this one albergue. Walking back to the albergue they said to me, I can't sleep there, because I need a youth card. Totally silly, the woman: 'I can't tell you, where you get this card, you must figure it out on your own!' Please what? So I paid bit more money for a hotel room and slept very good....

Oviedo old city

Eastern processions

The Eastern processions are as you now it from german TV. They carry this huge statues through the streets with nice bagpipes music, very celtic (in Asturias, I don't if it is the same in toher states) and also kind of an jazz orchestra! I loved this music, it was addictive for and I enjoyed the melodies. When the bearer made some moves with the statues the audience applauded. A little lift was enough for hearing clapping hands. So I have seen two processions, one at the 2nd and one at the 3rd April. Both were from the same group, so I saw similiar costumes and heard the same orchestras. But still, it was nice and worth to see.

After Oviedo I couchsurfed rural near Oviedo in Ceceda in a house full of dogs and two donkeys outside. I spend the nights with two dogs lying on me, I couldn't move while sleeping and when I opened my eyes the next day, at first I had a tongue in my face! :D

I continued my way to the next work in a mongolian yurt area in Asturias!
