Day 77 - Pontedeume to Betanzos

We awoke early after a reasonable night - breakfast was as expected ‘toast and coffee’ very good coffee 😊
We set off on day 2 of Camino Inglis with the sun shining and a bit of a breeze 🙌👣👣
We traversed paths, woodlands, minor roads and met lots of other pilgrims- where we chased each other up many hills, hissing breathless ‘olas’’ in Simon’s case and ‘ buen Camino’ in Mary’s case.
We went up many hills, and flattened out at a golf course- missed all the balls, then went up more hills.
We passed through numerous villages- some offered stamps for the credentials, some had honesty stalls of Camino memorabilia.
Each time we approached a hill more pilgrims appeared to bother Simon , making him believe they were aliens from outer space.
In the town of Mino we replenished our fruit supplies and saw lovely coastal views.
However upon leaving the village we were quickly onto more hills to climb.
We are however walking well and managing about 5km per hour on a good road.
Today we did 20km in 4 hours and hit town in need of a good lunch. We found a good restaurant, but they took forever to serve us. Then it filled up big time so we gave up the idea of pudding and coffee and got out - even that took 20 mins !!
We headed up to hotel that allowed us to check in early 🙌🙌
Room is grand and we chilled and recovered.
We found that most places are closed on a Sunday and after much google searching found a carrefour express still open 2km away. So sorted ourselves out and are now back in the room hoping for a peaceful sleep.
Big walk tomorrow!!Read more
