17th June
Santiago de Compostela to Negreira 23k

It was so nice to be just 'us' again after a week spent with others and while we really enjoyed their company we really enjoy the space of being on the journey with each other.  As we left Santiago this morning  waved off by our new Camigos we made sure we touched the stone in the square in front of the Cathedral  just one more time to make sure we return someday.

What a fabulous day.  It was warm, the sun was shining and we walked in short sleeves for the first time this trip.  The breeze was warm as well but not hot like the sun.  The way was very pretty along shaded paths through the forest with a couple of climbs one of which was long and testing.  We came across a very pretty village with a medieval bridge Ponte Maceira over the rio Tambre.

When we arrived in Negreira we did our usual chores before finding a supermarket to stock up on supplies for the next couple of days as the guide book says there's not much chance to do this before Finisterre.  So our backpacks just got a bit heavier again!
