• Day 75 - Foz to Ferrol

    5–6 juil. 2024, Espagne ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    It’s now been several days since we entered the land of the Galicians. They are on the whole friendly and welcoming despite living in a land of the mizzle.
    We were awoken by the ever present sea gulls!
    Then after a very good breakfast we walked to a very small, rural train station ( literally a platform with a shelter - the time table sellotaped to the inside of the shelter) of course this was in the mizzle.
    The train turns up when it feels like it - today that was 25 mins late! - remind you of anything?
    We were glad there were others waiting 🤪
    The journey took us the remaining section of the north coast and then inland and west to the town of Ferrol - the start of the Camino Inglis.
    We passed coastline and beaches then acres of eucalyptus forests- this seems to be the main tree in Northern Spain. ( just missing the koalas!)
    We arrived in Ferrol in the sunshine. This is another thriving, busy port town, with a naval dock.
    We met some of the naval cadets washing their uniforms at the launderette.
    As usual the bars and restaurants are busy and thriving plus Spain has just beaten Germany so the street outside has turned into a fiesta 😳
    We are hoping for some sleep before an early start and the first section of the Camino Inglis. Let’s hope the locals allow this and our windows cut out some of the celebrations!!
    Simon is hoping for no smelly marshes and sticky bun flies!
    Adios amigoes
