    All packed and ready to go ... Muxia 31-38 K depending what options one takes the purist ( and there are plenty) would say you should make your way to the End of the World and then walk north back through Finisterre on your way to Muxia but I was there today and don't really see the point as it's not actually a part of the Portuguese Camino anyway that ended in SdC last week . This is an add on . So I expect to be walking around 6 hours difference being this time I will be carry my full pack about 11 Kilos I need to see if this old man can manage it for a long day If I'm doing another Camino I would like to go full hog not book ahead and walk and see where you can find a bed and obviously to do that you need your bag or as was often referred to by some as 'the fat bastsrd ' on your back . So I'm a bit nervous but excited too . Want to head off early but not too early as it stays dark and I can't find my head lamp I think I must have left it in my locker in Seminario Menor hopefully I'll get when I get back on Sunday night .

    Good thing is I found out from the man who owns the place around the corner where I had the menu del Dai today he opens for locals for coffee at six so if I'm awake early as I invariably am and want up and out I can head there for a coffee I may even try one of those intriguing little liqours the locals here and in Portugal take with the coffee in the mornings . I imagine it's some sort of hair of the dog or an aid to digestion anyway we will see it would make the cornflakes a bit too rich ! Off to sleep . I'll be in touch
