Camino 9: Ribadeo - Sobrado

Incredible, thought I was getting sick of it, but it was just the cold, driving, blistering, miserable rain from yesterday.
Today was so good, I couldn't get off the bike, so many great things with the good weather: got a stamp from the cathedral in Mondoñedo and the monastery in Dos Monxes.
So then in Mondoñedo this man Carlos who was bored with his bus tour walks up to ask me about the biking, and wait for it: he turned out to be the husband of Rosi, who is the aunt of Victor. So I know Victor as he is the wife of Estelia, who is the daughter of the previous mayor of Alcazar de San Juan, who is good friends with my Ana (also from Alcazar), and we met them in Chile in 2015. It all made sense in the moment, and we are pretty much best buds!

After that a horrible climb that never ended until a wind farm, and then when I parked up this eve I met two guys who have done the same route the last week on the same bikes. Albeit a bit quicker than me, but typical that I meet them a day before Santiago! All in all a great day!Read more
