Ribadiso

We were up and out before 7 this morning after being tortured by a couple of mosquitoes all night. And another foam mattress that roasts you from below.
The day started overcast and cool, more farmland and an uphill section that looked a bit like Scotland, complete with heather. Then down through eucalyptus plantations into some sort of area of interest where there were petroglyphs in the shape of a foot. From the bronze age. Then Melide appeared in the distance and we were soon back in civilization. Hojaldre de manzana for breakfast, possibly more than one.
Then on to the path again where it combines with the French route we walked last time. It seemed quieter but soon stalls selling things along the way soon appeared and we met a couple of texan girls and a couple from Long Ditton.
My favourite hut selling coffee liqueur and tarta de Santiago is still here, so we had a chat with the owner, bought more, and continued to Ribadiso where Fiona stayed two years ago. Nice hotel in a cute hamlet, swimming pool and a restaurant across the road. I'm starting to feel sad now we are getting so close to Santiago but the tendonitis from last year has started to swell a bit so it might be just as well.Leggi altro
