Manjarin – Ponferreda

Triacastela

For some cruel reason, maybe as payback for the 55k day or maybe she just wanted a nice butt, Amber decided we would be walking the Dragonte route from Villafranca to La Faba. Little did she know that it would be the route of spiders, wading through icy cold rivers, and bees, that made it into the worst joke ever. But we made it.

After sinking into a swamp infested with spiders, I found out crocs with socks isn’t a bad alternative to hiking boots (might’ve hiked two thirds of the Dragonte in crocs).

O pedrouzo (arca o pino)–19:50

Wasn’t feeling well today, coming up on a cold. Walked to Virgen del Camino.

I was in León for 3 nights, and on the day I tried to make it out I only got 7k to the next town. Tomorrow, oh yes, tomorrow I will go far.

40 KM later..

Walking from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm.

Rest day tomorrow in the big city!

buen camino

No post yesterday fro O Cádavo. A long uphill near the end took us to a ridge that dumped us down into basically a ghost town with a relatively new municipal albergue. No internet, little food, and early to bed.

Today was a longish 30+km day to Lugo. Mostly flat on nicely graveled roads in nice sunny weather. I stopled once,  early in the morning,  and got to the very nice albergue just inside Lugo’s Roman wall around 3:30 PM. May stay a little longer in the morning to  see more of this bustling place. Just over 700 km behind me and just over 100 to go to Santiago.
