Olveiroa to Cee: +- 20km

We had lunch and dinner at our hostel yesterday and decided to mix it up and have breakfast at another venue in the tiny little village. There we bumped into our Norwegian friends! They were going to take the bus to Cee today as the wife has a blister that is out of control.

So we walked into a thunderstorm this morning, which was a bit scary. We even contemplated abandoning our walking poles (lightning hazard) but then remembered we had a very steep downhill walking into Cee and we needed them to stabilise ourselves in case of mud. So on we walked with our poles, at a very brisk pace. All about risk management and OH&S.

It was very windy. Thankfully I had a rope and a carabiner which I tied around my waist to prevent me and my poncho looking like a flying nun.
Even though the weather forecast was for terrible weather all day, by 11.30am the wind had blown all rain and clouds away. Sunshine at last!! We finished our day in beautiful weather. Our hostel is a bit Spartan so we went out for a pizza and burger.

Full on rain predicted for the rest of our stay in Spain so we will arrive in Finisterre tomorrow in the rain. We will probably postpone the 5km walk to the lighthouse (kilometre 0; ie the end of the Camino) until Wednesday. The weather will determine.Read more
