Day 11 – Melide to A Brea – 28k

 


Last night was our last night in an albergue, it had the potential to be so bad due to a couple having a baby in the bed next to ours and we were very worried he wouldn’t sleep. We shouldn’t have been tho the baby was a champ. The Spanish however were a shower of twats. Came in pissed at 11pm like they were on a hen party clambering about lights everywhere clanging things. Albergue’s may be like hostels but there is a level of respect for the walkers normally lights out by 10 and all BADA and beds sorted way before but since the Disneygrinos rolled into town it’s a nightmare so maybe had a few hours sleep with the coughing and noises.

Thankfully tonight is a private room so will hopefully recoup some sleep.

We started out at a comprise of 6.30 and soon made great time, we knew today would be a bit longer but made good progress and got 5k done in quick time to have our first breakfast stop, a little after this we bumped into Dominique again and got the lastest Goss most of the family are going 5k further than us tonight but we will hopefully catch them up in Santiago.

We stopped and had second breakfast a solid tradition on Camino and then walked our own walk. Yesterday I finally got my first blister and it’s letting me know about it today even tho I threaded it last night. Lots of Forrest trails and a little road walking today but far more services and stopping opportunity’s.

Once again the heat took over and my blister made the last 7k a bitch and I’m sure I have more blisters today, the Camino always makes me work for the win.

But I finally got Karen her pool for a night at least even if I did mess the booking up for the room. 25k to go and we’re done. With 3 nights in santiago to wind down.
