Day 32 - A misty start, 3 days to go

Portomarin to Palas de Rei
26.1km
Accumulated distance 777.8km
A misty start to the day, but more heat was to come later. Initially I quite enjoyed the cooler conditions but humidity in the mid 80s meant it was sweaty work. Somehow it seemed like more pilgrims on the trail today compared with yesterday, and luckily the first section today was a long long uphill so I managed to pass heaps on the way up.
There were a few forest sections, my favourite in the misty weather, which was nice, and a long stretch to the first coffee stop. I bumped into the Canadian mother and son from day 1, still going strong. I also heard some people saying, and say too, about heat wash they’d been getting on the hot days. Not too many people talking about allergies, but I’m starting to feel it now.
Bumped into Maz and Leigh from yesterday and we walked a while together, then finished off the day into Palas del Rei walking with Kyle from Florida USA, which was very pleasant. He’s on his second Camino.
Got into town at 2pm approx, 26deg, so pleased to have beaten the heat. Planning an early start tomorrow, it’s almost 30 to Arzua.
Moment of the day was going out to a small bar for dinner and ordering an outstanding polpo, it was so good.Read more
