Not sure what my problem was today but after breakfast I felt so incredibly sleepy for about 3 hours. I stopped and stopped and stop but couldn't seem to shake it until I finally found an amstel beer and a fig tree next to one another. Took a few sips, lay under the tree for half an hour and was right as rain.
Speaking of right as rain, the forecast is dry till at least Sunday so the dreaded rain suit has been bequeathed to an albergue for some soul who comes through in bad weather. I am glad to be shot of it as it was very heavy.
The walking today was through loads of green Galician lanes most of which were lined with dry stone walls.
But has anyone ever seen ones with these door like stones in them?
From there it was out in the open for a couple of kms until I reached Portomarin.
This is a new town built since 1961 when they damned a river and drowned the old town. The approach is no like anything I have walked into before and it was a very nice place for my third sangria afternoon of the camino, with Shirley and Tony the kiwis.
Later found a great spot for dinner with wonderful views out over the river.
Whoah - not many days to go now - only 2 an half inches to Santiago...what a fab achievement..I am so looking forward to seeing you and chattering about it - glad you got a camera... the question is will we see you in USA or N Z?
ReplyDeleteyeah, what Jo said.
ReplyDeleteExcept I'm not sure of her map scale, so as John Cleese(?) once asked (in a rowing boat), how long is it? That you have to walk?
Or as Max asked David, 'is this pool exactly a length?'
