What a difference a night makes. Sunset last night was beautiful and woke up to wet and cool weather

Mare and foal enjoying morning breakfast

Camino shrine. Very interesting rock drawings

This could describe our Camino. Slow like a snail 🐌

We loved this one of 2 cats swinging in a tree

Rain pelting us but we are happy campers

As pilgrims we must embrace the suffering

This area experienced wildfires only 3 weeks ago in this area we walked through

Fires 🔥 burned the lower sections and many trees turned brown from the flames 🔥

Despite the dreary day the views remained spectacular 🤩

The way became wet and slippery and progress was slow

Our trail became a pond. Our feet were very wet

Horse came to see us while we passed by. I think he liked Ann 😉

2 dogs standing on top of the stone wall watching out for the local cat taunting them

Limes 🍋‍🟩 growing in front yards of homes throughout Spain

Met 2 Aussies and he professed he could take a selfie 🤳 He was horrible 😩

Inside one of the churches in Baiona where we're staying tonight. Eerily beautiful

The day went from liquid sunshine to incredible sunshine ☀️ Village of Baiona. Our home tonight

CP Day 9 To Baiona

3 september, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

Today was a 17km day, half of it was in the rain…very heavy at times. It gave Ann a chance to really test out her new rain poncho and it seems to have been a success. We came away from the coast and walked inland through the forest in a muddy and rocky terrain which seemed to go mostly uphill. We walked through a part where forest fires had burned about 3 weeks ago. You can see new growth already sprouting up.
We walked through a beautiful seaside town called Baiona. We are staying just in the other side of town with beautiful views of the sea and beach. At our hostal, we met two women from British Columbia who just came from hiking the Dolomites….the Camino Portuguese is too easy for them 🙄. We spent a couple of hours with them and our Austrian friend Johannes on the terrace drinking wine and eating sardines. Fun!
Off to find dinner ….nothing open til 8pm …Läs mer
