Day 9. 26km

Megan here. We started the day in Pontrevedra. We had a late start at 10 and we left our albergue and headed for the start of the spiritual route. We spotted a small bakery were we got some pastrys and treats and too our surprise they were awful, my mams pastry tasted like dog food so she gave it to the Italians next to us who politely ate some of it. We then continued our walk we walked for about 2 hours and by then we had all had enough but we still had another 12km left. It wasn't an easy day by any means it was almost all uphill. At the top of the biggest hill we spotted an American women asleep on a bench she spotted us and in her attempt to jump up she very nearly fell of the bench. She told us how she would sleep there on the bench if she hadn't booked a hotel up ahead, and all the hills were far to much for her. Eventually after many hours we reached our shared Lodge were the owners had no English, so me the only person with any Spanish tried to explain to them what we wanted. We then visited the monasterie and attended mass in the evening. We had a very early night after all the walking.
