Day 44. Sarria to Portomarin

Up and out as agreed more or less, 8:45h, for breakfast in a bar on the camino which we had found last night. Lavish breakfast which took even longer when a group at the next table got ready to leave and I thought I saw someone who looked just like Ivar, the creator and administrator of the camino forum on the internet which I visit every day. I did not like to ask, but Andrea did not hesitate and he was Ivar. What a surprise! I had never met him before, but seen him on the occasional videos he posts on his camino forum.

This was a nice and easy walk, but for me very long. Quite a number of people - we kept overtaking each other as one lot stopped at a bar, then the other lot, etc. Only one place coming steeply down to Potomarin was really dangerous where Andrea stood by to help me - don't know how I would have been able to handle it had I been alone and with my big pack.

Wonderful to have made itLue lisää
