It's freezing! I haven't had my jacket off all day and it's hard to get warm. Occasionally the sun comes out which is nice but not for long enough.
The way today was mostly lovely country paths and lanes again. We did quite a bit of climbing again today and reached the highest point of our journey. We then walked for a while on the road before descending into a lovely little town which is where we're staying. It has an ancient monastery which is now a massive albergue with 120 beds. Could be a noisy night in there. We're now down into the 60's kms before Santiago. It's hard to believe we're this close and the start of our pilgrimage seems like an age ago.
Kay, I have so enjoyed keeping up with your Camino. You have had your share of less than wonderful albergues, less than ideal weather, less than ideal sleeping conditions (what would a Camino be without snoring!!) but stunning vistas, lasting connections and great accomplishments. I hope you are very pleased and happy. You both look fit and healthy, well done. The last bit is so much fun as you know you are almost there!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lue. It's neen fantastic so far and more to as we're going to Finisterre and Muxia after a day off in Santiago.
