For the record, I wake up at 0630. She got up and moved into the bathroom to shower and wash up. Unfortunately, she forgot to turn off her alarm and so it went off every 5 minutes until she finished all her stuff in the bathroom - a good 20/25 minutes. She got out of the bathroom just before I grabbed her bathrobe where she had her alarm in a pocket (!!!!) to throw it out the window.I stayed in an albergue - maybe in Castrojeriz? - where they played Gregorian chant to wake everyone up. When you signed in the night before, the hospitallero warned pilgrims to not leave before 0600 when everyone would wake up - if you wanted to leave earlier, one could stay at a different albergue. No, I know the doors weren't locked, it was just to ensure everyone got a decent rest. The hospitallero has since passed away but I always think of him with great fondness. Everyone woke up in good spirits and grateful for the enforced quiet.</blockquote>
