Day 27. All day in Melide

Finally our rest day arrived. A much needed do nothing day. What we had not expected was to be informed we needed to be out of the Albergue from 9am to 1pm. Bloody hell, we wanted to sleep in. Out we trudged into the cold wind and showers. Found the city library and settled in for a read of long carried books. A little uncomfortable as the library was unheated. My Spanish SIM had expired so walked around looking for a phone shop. 10€ for 50GB and I was back online. With that much data I don't bother with WiFi. Back to hostel for an afternoon sleep. A perfect nothing day. A highlight of our stay has been the quality of the disability shower. Most Spanish shower areas are sorely wanting but not this one. Water drained perfectly, a hugh shower head and just plain nice. I've had 2 showers today and contemplating a 3rd.
Surprisingly, we are both looking forward to being back on the trail tomorrow. My shoes were beginning to fall apart so some duct tape surgery required. Looks ridiculous but only needs to last 55km, I say hopefully.Read more
