      Tag 8

      18 de maio de 2022, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Eigentlich wollten wir bis Pontevedra laufen, das Wetter war aber gegen uns. Zudem hat es Nikolai und mich erwischt. Beide haben wir eine Fette Erkältung. Also haben wir den Bus genommen und sind damit ein Stück gefahren und den Rest gelaufen. Danach war Schicht im Schacht. Eine heiße Dusche und dann ins Bett. Vorher aber noch Aspirin eingenommen.Leia mais

      Heute ging es von nach Caldas der Reis. Endlich ohne Regen und schon steigt die Stimmung. Auch der Weg war das was man sich unter einem Camino so vorstellt. Schöne Feldwege durch kleine Dörfer. Das einzige was mich immer noch stört sind die vielen 100 km Pilger. Werde mich weil daran gewöhnen müssen. Als Fazit für mich ist das kein schöner Camino. Hätte dich an der Küste gegen sollen. Egal ist ja am Freitag geschafft.Leia mais

      To Rodeiro — 27 km and 700 m

      4 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      I think I can remember several short stretches in which it wasn’t raining, but my memory has one overriding picture of a rainy and very windy day. There was one stretch out in a big field when I could see the wind blowing sheets of rain across my path. It was a memorable day, because it has been years and years and years since I had a full day of rain on the Camino.

      Today’s route goes up to a high spot with great views, but there would be no views today. I had already decided. I was going to take an alternate lower route so that I could visit a Romanesque church— and if you can believe it, the rain stopped just as I got there, so that I could take out my phone and take pictures of this really beautiful doorway.

      It was raining when I started out, but not a pounding rain. After several hours, though, my feet were completely soaked and were not going to get any wetter. So I became less picky about working my way around puddles.

      The early part of the walk has two petos de ánimas (alms box for the souls in purgatory — I never did understand how payment would make its way up to get their release, though). And then comes the only bar on this 26 km stretch (which is why the crowds have not yet descended on this Camino). I remembered the owner from several other Caminos and it was fun to hear her impressions of how things have changed.

      After that stop at about 8 km, my next stop, about 4 hours later, was a little covered Galician bus stop. There I bumped into a forum member— She was heading out and we agreed to meet up at dinner.

      I try to find the beauty in these days, and there was plenty today to keep my spirits in good order. How can I complain when I’m 73 and still walking caminos?! Once you descend into a chorus of whining about the rain, things get self-pitying, and what’s the point of that?

      It was great to arrive at the Hostal/Albergue, though, where I have once again opted for a private room. No hairdryer today so my shoes will probably be wet tomorrow, but that’s OK because more rain is forecast anyway!

      To Lalín — wet again!

      5 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      I must be losing my strength — only 22 km and 350 m, and I was dragging and straggling by the time I got to Lalín at about 1:30. Part of the reason was no doubt the rain. Though it never got torrential, it was relentless. So much mud and water to navigate undoubtedly slowed me down, but I was surprised when Wikiloc told me it was only a 22 km stage

      In spite of the rain, this was a beautiful stage. The predominant color was green, and the predominant sounds were twofold – water and humming. The water came in all sorts of sounds — trickling, gurgling, rushing, roaring even. At one point I could see four different not-so-little lwaterfalls converging into a river, which was high and moving fast. In fact, some of the bridges I walked over were almost underwater.

      And the humming was the sound of the milking machines that came out of all of the dairy farms. I have never walked this stage without seeing at least one person leading cows to pasture. But today they were all being milked, I guess. I saw several milk collection trucks throughout the day, so that confirms my suspicion that everyone was getting milk ready for market.

      The weird display paying homage to Franco and Juan Carlos is still there, but gone are the many plasticized pages describing the owner’s lawsuit against someone, I was never sure if it was the government or a neighbor. Maybe it has been resolved.

      As I was coming into Lalín, I was remembering the excellent meal I had here years ago. And since it’s Sunday, I was expecting there to be all sorts of great options for a leisurely Sunday lunch. After I washed clothes and showered, I headed out in search of a good restaurant.

      Imagine my surprise (and disappointment) when I learned that every restaurant in Lalín booked for Mother’s Day lunch! I have found a decent tapas place, though, and I’m a happy camper.

      Everyone says it won’t rain tomorrow — may it be so.

      As Cernadas

      4 de maio, Espanha ⋅ 🌫 17 °C

      This forestry was amazing. I believe I was in a temperate rainforest as all the ferns, moss, lichen, liverwort, and other ancient humidity loving plants were overtaking the trunks of the tree and covering all the rocks and stones. It was something out of Middle-earth, and I was a place I was reluctant to move on from. The road goes ever on my friend.Leia mais

      A gentle day of walking

      6 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      That’s about the best way to describe the 24 km, 300 m walk in the cool temps, partly sunny. It was just about perfect— leaving Lalín on the beautiful river walk, then merging onto the Camino Sanabrés in Laxe, finally seeing lots of others. I didn’t have rain or flooded paths, just long stretches of those Galician “green tunnels,” sometimes wide enough for a car to drive through, other times narrow and hemmed in by ancient moss covered stone walls. M

      I had snippets of conversations with about 5 or 6 people — a yoga teacher from the US, a German banker, a very young Swiss pilgrim, and several members of a self-described “posh camino” group who are spared no luxury or comfort (and I am not being critical, really).

      The highlights of this stage for me are the 10 C Taboada bridge and the 13 C church nearby, with a carving of Samson killing the lion (though I think the story is that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands, not that he lanced him from on top of a horse). The weather was nice, so I was able to sit and enjoy both spots. Lots of lollygagging today!

      I have some wiggle room to play around with over the next few days since I did a couple of longer days than I had anticipated. It will be fun to figure out.

      Santiago de Compostela

      19 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Gestern war es so richtig nett. Wir haben zusammen gekocht, gegessen, getrunken und tolle Gespräche geführt. Am Morgen ging's dann schon um 6 Uhr 30 los und es regnete nicht. Ganz im Gegenteil, es schien ein schöner Tag zu werden. Denkste , um 10:30 dann ging's richtig los, es regnete, nieselte, hörte auf, regnete,....
      Frühstück im Cafe mit der ganzen Truppe, dann traf ich Ted und Harry, lief mit ihnen, die sind so nett, traf wieder auf Archie und die anderen. Die machten länger Pause und ich wollte eigentlich weiter, sonst wird mir zu kalt. In Santiago traf ich mit Ted und Harry ein, es war wirklich schön. Wir tauschten noch unsere Nummern aus, machten Fotos und verabredeten uns um 7 Uhr f. die Messe um 7:30. Dann trafen auch schon Archie und Adam ein, wieder Fotos und dann die Mädels. Viktoria aus D ist ja Pastorin und war total gerührt. Dann gingen wir gleich zur Registrierung um unsere Compostela holen zu können. Danach ging es in die Hostels und um 7 Uhr trafen wir uns wieder. Jetzt hieß es Schlange stehen und nachdem gar nix mehr ging, fragte sich Viktoria mal durch und erfuhr, dass gleichzeitig eine Konfirmation war. Also Organisation 0. Endlich drinnen, gab gab es ziemliches Durcheinander, denn die Pilger wussten nicht, dass es eine Konfirmation gab und die Firmlinge waren auch erbost, dass die Pilger sich in ihre Reihen drängten. Es war ziemlich laut. Nach ca 45 min gaben wir auf und verließen enttäuscht die Kathedrale . Stattdessen gingen wir zum Abendessen und saßen noch gemütlich zusammen, nachdem auch noch Kate dazu kam. Valencia/Martin fuhr schon am selben Abend nach Hause.
      Nach einem erfüllten Tag verabschiedeten wir uns, wünschten uns das Beste und versprachen in Kontakt zu bleiben.

      Heute ging es von Caldas de Reis nachPadron. Der Weg war einfach schön. Schöne Gegend ein paar kleine Berge aber nicht so schlimm. Die knapp 20km in knapp 3 1/2 Stunden gelaufen. Hat einfach Spaß gemacht. Viele Pilger aus Deutschland getroffen etwas unterhalten und dann wieder Gas gegeben. Das Wetter hat gepasst und trotz Blase Spaß gemacht. Padron ist einer Herr bekanntesten Orte aus der Reise nach Santiago. Es ist so wie der Schlossallee im Monopoli. So sind auch die Preise hier.Leia mais

      Padron

      8 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Woke up in our most beautiful casita, our hosts left a big wooden box with anything you could want for breakfast. Sad to, leave but we walked off trail a bit to see the Viking tower ruins from the 800's. Back on the camino for a long walk, mostly in the sun but also thru pine forests and small towns. I lost the pages of my Brierly book for today, also couldn't find any arrows for awhile so the Camino Ninja app was our guide. We arrived here pretty tired, 11+ miles, but with a lovely hostel, both bottom bunks! My clothes are soaked thru but somehow, I washed my clean shirt instead of the one that needed it. 😞 After the last several days of being the only pilgrims on the road, we are surrounded by pilgrims here, such a fun and lively environment. Lots of smiles. I'm both excited and sad for the end of this walk, it has seemed so short and easy (at times)Leia mais

      Day 15 - Caldas de Reis to Padrón

      7 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Trains, planes and automobiles.
      And boats.
      And, of course, walking.
      I think we just need a donkey to complete the set.

      Up early and headed out of town by bus, after much head scratching because some of the bus stops are not sign posted. People will just be randomly be standing at the side of the road, and that’s where the bus will stop. But, we did it! Bus to Vilagarcia de Arousa, and then bus again to Vilanova de Arousa, for the grand total of €3.10 each.

      Then, we caught a boat up the sea and river to Pontecesures and a short walk into Padrón - ta-dah! If only all our walking days had been so easy. Amazing sunshine again, decent enough apartment, tiniest of tiny towns, walk around to get more stamps and the Predonía (fancy certificate!), and we ended up making sandwiches for dinner because no restaurants were open. The lady at the supermarket counter took a shine to Paul, so we got chorizo for free 😂

      Feeling excited about tomorrow, but also a little anxious. My shin splint is better but not great, and tomorrow we have around 25km ahead of us.
      My ankle feels better when going uphill, and luckily the route is mostly uphill - serendipity strikes again!

      ¡Buen Camino!
