[QUOTE="Katakun, post: 135052, member: 25730"] I wouldn't count on fellow pilgrims coming to your aid if my experience is anything to go by. A few days ago I was sleeping in the Xunqueira de Ambia Albergue when I was attacked by a drunk peregrino. I awoke to a hand clamped over my face with palm covering mouth and nose...gripping tight enough to jerk my head up off the pillow. I obviously started kicking and swinging and yelling when he let go. Fortunately I was on the top bunk giving me a defensive advantage. Not a single peregrino out of 14 non drunk peregrinos came to my aid. My best walking buddy snuck behind the 3 drunks and quickly got into bed. The person in the bunk below me quickly found an empty top bunk in the other corner. Afterwords no one asked if I was ok or offered to call the police. Nothing, Zip,Nadda. They all turned away and I can only guess pushed those ear plugs in deeper. My conclusion from this is that friendship on the camino goes about as deep as being friended on Facebook. I'll be glad to put this spineless herd of sheep behind me. Another peregrino had his wallet stolen while sleeping a few days before my attack in the A Gudina Albergue. We may have more to fear from the malice and indifference from our fellow peregrinos than any Spanish road side robbery. [/QUOTE]
