Leaving Casa Pepa’s

We enjoyed Casa Pepa’s, someone here helped us to get hooked up with carrier service for our backpacks. So today we hope to get a lot of miles done. We will see.

We were feeling great this morning, loved the misty fields and hills. We actually passed a few people, that’s new! They usually are passing us.

After several kilometers , we started climbing up then down. In and out of small towns.

We started climbing again, zigging and zagging. The mist had burned off and now it seemed to be too hot, even without backpacks, I felt done in.

We reached a ridge top, we appeared to be on equal level with the windmills. I couldn’t help thinking, “ How the heck did we get way up here”? You lose track, your feet just keep going, one in front of the other and then you look up and, WOW!

After this ridge we finally came down and wound our way through another town and up again. I was pretty hangry by this time if you know what I mean, not very good company at all. Our walking today even without backpacks was tough, it was hot and just seemed to be too much. Then there was a coffee bar!!! I was saved! We made it to Camino Chans.

Our albergue , O Bordón turned out to be pretty good. Only 4 of us at the beginning. The other two women we had seen a few times already and they were also at our albergue last night.

We ended up being too late for dinner again, another person joined our search and we walked through the town hoping to find something to eat. One bar took pity on us and we ended up sharing a great dinner. The woman who joined us was Czech. She was one of the nicest people we met on our Camino. She invited us not only to visit her country but to come stay in her home with her family for a few days when we get done walking.

Then back at the Albergue our Host had left to vote. Two other people came to check in, a father and son. We had a nice kitchen and a stocked bar with a beer tap. We had a pretty good time needless to say.

He told us later that it was 10k to the town he had voted in and he walked there and back. We all joked that now he had walked the Camino too. We all talked together about music and food and how things were different in our home countries.

Below is Al’s Relive video and tomorrow we arrive in Fisterra. Until then ..be well.

    Carrier service for your backpacks sounds like a game changer! I was double checking if I saw all your blogs and missed this one.
