O Cebreiro to Triacastela

Today we had a beautiful walk to Triacastela, through spectacular countryside… basically down, but with a couple of altos… as planned I got a taxi to the small village about 5 kms from Cebreiro… When we were taken from the hotel in Pedrafita it was totally misty - a whiteout - but as we reached O Cebreiro, only a few kms away, we came up above the fog and it was clear blue sky, and a lovely day…Cathy set off with Sandee and Tim, at about 8.45, and my taxi at 10 got to the meeting place just a few minutes before they arrived.. perfect timing. So then we all walked together, sometimes chatting to others.. it was quite busy on the Camino as a group of English, with T-shirts with pink bras printed on, all started today, they were walking for breast cancer… so there was quite a hubbub at the start… but it always evens out, and we walked through such lovely countryside, first we were above the mist, then it all burnt off and we had views down to the valleys below… very peaceful. Had a couple of stops for refreshments… I enjoyed a cheese omelette for lunch… shared with Tim, and of course ColaCao…it is sunny and quite hot now that we are down from the heights. Had a sangria stop on the way into town and are now checked in to our very comfy accommodation… even with microwave and coffee machine which we won’t need as dinner and breakfast are included…very comfy hanging with Sandee and Tim…will probably meet for dinner… today’s walk was 21 kms, and 16 for me. Just one more walk day to Sarria tomorrow. I’ll leave it at that, and leave it to Cathy to report dinner.
A lovely and long walk today. Spoilt with the weather. More ups than reported and happy to reach our resting spot, Triacastela. We enjoyed downtime and met Tim for dinner - Sandee needed rest as both have been battling colds. Pleasant dinner and now ready for bed.Baca lagi
