El Peral to Póo

The day started out very difficult for me as I could barely walk. I took my heavy-duty Aleve and then I added Tylenol throughout the day, and that improved matters greatly. I decided not to walk the whole distance simply because I didn't want to push it too much, and planned to take a bus from Andrīn to keep my mileage under 15 miles. However, when we got there, we realized that the bus stop was actually a 45 minute walk in the wrong direction. So I kept walking. I tried to take a taxi or bus from Llanes but would have had over an hour and a half wait for either one. So I kept walking. It was 16 and 1/2 miles to Póo, and actually I did fine but hope it doesn't affect tomorrow. By the way, Póo is pronounced like Edgar Allan Poe not like what is in a baby's diaper.

When I couldn't get transportation in Llanes I saw a "churros con chocolate" sign and thought that would cheer me up, but the shop was closed. Then we saw a gelato stand and I figured that would cheer me up, and it did!

We had another quiet evening doing nothing. Tomorrow is only a 12 mile day and I'm hoping for the best.Læs mere
