So our third bunk mate never appeared Sona private room last night with ensuite was 30 euro. Tonight we have a an albergue booked in Melida where the French Camino also meets so it’s going to get busy. As we were only going 20k today we took up the albergue’s breakfast offer before we went it was 4 euro each for cakes, cereal, toast and coffee.
We left around half 8 which is late for us but didn’t take us long to conquer the first 5k to the first bar. Was about half way up the main hill on today’s Camino only 300m but it was enough to catch the Disneygrinos out. After an aquade a pepsi equivalent of aquarius we went 5k over the mountain only for a 5k downhill to the next bar. Not so many services today and lots of road walking but we’re making steady progress.
Our Camino family is all over the place as people are trying to line up their final assault on Santiago depending on time and resources as Santiago is very expensive at the mo on high season far more than I remember. So some people will aim for a super short walk on the last day together in to Santiago get their certificates go to the midday mass and then leave town either flying or getting transport home.
We have booked a pension in A Brea which is about 25k from Santiago so about 58k to go currently so a 28k day tomorrow and then 25k on the final day.
The last 5k of today the sun turned the heat up and it was a hot slog so we have decided to revert back to early morning walking to avoid the sun.
I finally had a tiny blister and today it’s grown so the sowing needle has been used in anger but I’ve had far worse and is not allowing me down.
