Wrong way

For the last hour, I've been following these two girls. One of them has a poncho with the Camino shell, so she's easy to spot. It's lovely just walking behind them. I'm hardly looking at the way markers and I just trust they know the way. They also are going at a nice steady pace so the distance between us remains relatively the same.

We pass the section where you can turn off and see the waterfalls. A few pilgrims drop off to go see it. It's a few kilometres off trail. I considered going for a split second then think I'm best off getting to my next stop. The girls ahead also don't stop and I blindly follow them.

At one point I notice I'm gaining distance on them. Yhey have stopped walking and just stood on the path. As I near them I see they are examining their phones and one is saying that yes that's where we were supposed to go ... oh dear. I panic a bit because what if I've followed them off the path. I should have relied on myself for navigation. I don't even know if these 2 are responsible people. I check the app and I'm in the correct trail, also I'm almost in Calas de Reis!Weiterlesen
