To Caldas de Reis

13 more miles today was much easier than the past two days. 👍🏻

Walking into a town for us involves:

1. Looking desperately for a bar/cafe with umbrellas to sit down in the shade and have something to eat/drink.

2. Checking the time to make sure it’s late enough the kitchen is open (usually 1:30 or 2:00) but not too late because the kitchen may be closed by 4:00 and not opening up again until 8:00 or later.

3. If we are lucky to achieve #1, we then proceed to check in to our accommodation.

4. Shower, wash some things and then get the feet up and rest a bit.

5. Start thinking about dinner, but don’t want to wait until 8:00 pm. So we end up looking for a grocery to buy something decent to eat.

Today, we did all of these things but…because it is Sunday, every regular grocery store was closed except one - a Japanese Mini Mercado. Our dinner consisted of instant ramen with a Snickers for dessert 😂

Tomorrow, we will walk to Padron, our final stop before Santiago.Read more
