    Cea to Castro Dozón

    Distance 15km (3 hours)

    I had a relaxing evening in the Albergue. There were about 25 peregrinos overnight. As predicted, there was a snore fest. I did not participle and managed to have a great night’s sleep with the aid of my ear plugs. At 6.30am, a music alarm tried to walk everyone up. Everyone ignored it and lay on. I eventually got up, had some fruit for breakfast and generally relaxed.
    I finally left the Albergue at 8.30am. Sunrise was at 8.40am. I passed some peregrinos who seemed to be waiting for someone to lead the way out of town. I happily obliged.
    It has been a cool, overcast day with drizzle. The weather is not unlike the U.K.
    There seemed to be a lot of peregrinos on the Camino. I happily wandered although and cruises up some big hills. You were right Mike about the terrain.
    I eventually arrived at the Xunta Albergue at 11.30am. The bonus to being early is that you get the three important things to a peregrino:
    1. Bottom bunk
    2. Space around your bunk
    3. Electric socket
    Simple things but they mean a lot.
    Admin completed, I have eaten lunch and will now relax for the afternoon.
    And that was my 23rd day on the Via de la Plata / Camino Sanabres.
