Day 14 - Vilanova de Arousa to Cruces

Today was different in every way. We slept in and woke up to the first cloudy day we’ve had. We had a leisurely breakfast, walked around town and took pictures. I read a book and Tom went for a longer stroll. We talked a long time to a chatty couple from Scotland and waited for our 12:45pm scheduled boat to take us up river as the skies grew darker by the minute.

Our boat tour guide was very informative and even with his broken English we understood most of it. The minute we docked at our destination in Patron, the skies opened up and it poured on us for about 2 blocks until we could duck into a pub to wait out the rain and grab a quick pizza for lunch. Then off we started, at 3pm, for our day’s walk.

We made it to our accommodations around 5:30 having put 6.8 miles behind us. Our goal was to shorten our walk into Santiago tomorrow. Hard to believe we have just one day left.Read more
