• NARON to PALAS del REI

    27 maggio, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Hi Everyone
    Apologies for not posting for a few days.
    I've been exaustand moreso yesterday the walk was all uphill in 29°C felt like 30⁰C+ .
    Temperature today reached a high of 24°C and I covered 14.5 Ks and Steph and David 19Ks with their extended walk out to the 12th century Catholic church.. we arrived at our destination at 12 pm-ish at Palas de Rei. Photos will show a beautiful misty morning with soft images of pine trees. Reminded me of Canada 
    Along the way I enjoyed good pilgrim conversations with Aussies, Americans, a couple from Argentina and more.
    The best Tattoo I've seen was on and Australian ladies ankle. It featured BANKSY's girl with the Red Balloon drifting away. The writing says "There's always hope"
    And the best T-shirt read  "I'm a Canadian,"
    "Until the next election"
    Steph and David added on a 4 K detour to inspect a 12th century Catholic church "Vilar de Donas" and to their good fortune, the local priest arrived and gave the a private tour. 
    Steph was thrilled.
    David was too and unexpectedly took photos.
    David and Steph agreed it is a "not to be missed" on the Camino Frances.
    Note: the date stamp above says 27 May. It's actually the 29th 🥰

    Tomorrow we head for Melide
