Sort of started today in yesterday's post which I did before starting walking this morning.
It was actually about 9am before we got away this morning ... had intentions of walking to Campobecerros, some 33km of hills and rough tracks.
That was not to be, a short distance out of Vilavella, Liz stood on a loose rock, stumbled and jarred her knee. We strapped it and carried on at a some what slower pace. Pereiro was the first town we arrive at only 4km from start, its small and a little worse for wear, we pass through and see no one, no shops open .... we continue. Its up hill all the way to the next town Canizo, much more spread out and affluent .... we are able to get a coffee here and a short rest.
We have been walking for 3 hours and have covered about 9km .... the next town is La Gudina, we can stay there its a bit under 5km down the road. Temp. is up and over 20C and getting warmer so hats and sun screen on and away we go .... the country is farm land and a picturesque mish mash of colour and texture as we shuffle along, luckily its not hard going. We walk into la Gudina 1.30 -2pm ish ..... first thing we come across is a bar, great ..... a few drinks in the shade of an umbrella, some lunch and find the accom. We have a choice of Albergue or Hostal, we chose the Hostal and settled in.
Then off to the Farmacia a few hundred metres up the road for stuff for the sore knee. Later diner and rest.
