Day 30: Triastacela - Portmarrin

Marathon day! Or at least close to, a little over 40kms. We are very much in Galicia now, with everyday having good hills and a constant bit of rain. But it is very green and with beautiful scenery.

We had a quick start with the crew, but then I needed to wait in Sarria for 12pm mass before I could begin again. I late lunch on the road and only stopped very briefly before arriving at 6:30pm or so.

For the afternoon I ran into two lovely Americans, Kristen and Don, who were actually so great on a long day when conversation made the days go very quickly.

We had dinner at the only open place, which served pretty touristy food. I've never been happier with a chicken schnitzel and beer, an probably never deserved one more. It went down so well.
