24,007 steps.... 17 kms

We started early again today... our hostel was off the track z bit, and as we back-tracked to the path, we came upon 3 youngsters (lol... listen to me! early 20s, I would say)... who were literally just going home from what appeared to be a great night out...(one was still carrying a drink!), they stopped to ask if we were doing Camino de Santiago... when we said yes, they gave us quite an outpouring of drunken love! ❣️
Mos was a lovely little village where we managed our first coffee of the day and even a little store, so i was able to get new bottoms for my poles.
We had a very gradual incline today and managed it well. (Balthazar was behaving). But oh man! that downhill! I couldn't capture it in a picture... my crackling knees tell the story! We came upon Vy again - feeding his lunch to a dog! lol. what a kind soul... and a quick walker (he left quite a bit after us and clearly passed us somewhere... lol).
We arrived in Redondela a bit early - so stopped for a cold beverage. I love that they give you a little snack as well... very tasty, even when served by Mr. Cranky-Pants! lol. Our afternoons are usually the same... shower, nap snd hunt for food - we're ready to eat dinner at go to bed by 7.30 here... nothing opens till 8pm... time to get creative! 💙 Buen Camino!

Also, when you see a 'face in hole' you HAVE to participate! 🤣Leia mais
