Tuesday 18th of September 2012,
Up at first light and off on our trek (7am ish), not sure where to and how far we will go today, but bad weather on its way later in the week so time to hoof it.
A late breakfast in O Porrino, 15-16km down the road, arrived in Redondela, Spain about 2,30pm some 32 km from Valenca, a big walk after several days of laying about. A bit af an afternoon snack then find accommodation, clean up and crash for a couple of hours.
Back to late diners (Spain) usual language hiccups with a mix of numerous langugaes all jumbled together,coming out of my mouth ..... very amusing to the local people.
Liz and I share a huge sea food plater, washed down with a yummy dry white wine. Great night great food and good company. Room has great views over the bay and a bealcony to relax on as its still quite warm ..... this is the life ..... hope the money holds out? Checked the finances, since arriving back in April till now includig return back to Melbourne in June/July its cost me about AUD17000, not bad, 4 years ago my late wife and I did one of those river cruises, along with some extended stays and add ontours .... all up, 6 weeks about AUD50,000 ..... 5 star all the way.
Some of the places I've stayed at this time though clean may not even make 1 star ... but it has all been an experience, of which I have enjoyed.
