Camino Torres to Vila de Ponte

We were back on the Camino today, although it was a short day - only 10 km. Turns out we needed that short day because Connie’s leg was still bothering her and we definitely want that leg to get better before Elizabeth and her boys arrive!

Anyway, this morning when we went down for breakfast at 8, there was no one at the hotel but they were there just a few minutes later ready to serve us breakfast. Then we left and walked back to Ponte do Abade, then up a steep hill and back down to the town of Sernancelhe. When we arrived in Sernan., we were looking for a bar to grab a coffee when a woman asked us if we were on our way to Compostela and we said yes, and she led us to the local church where we could get a stamp she said. But the church was occupied with a baptism so she led us to a bar where we can get a drink while we wait and when we got back, the people were just leaving after the baptism, but they immediately locked the door before we could get in to see the inside of the church. It’s OK, we didn’t have our heart on it although it looked like an interesting church

We’re staying at an Albergue in a municipal sports club in Vila de Ponte, a friendly little town on a wide spot of the river where there’s a water recreation area.Read more
