Wednesday 26th of June 2013.
Another lovely day, up early and off on my trek .... solo today as Pam had other plans.
So it was down through the town to the river, over and up the other side ... a decent climb out of the valley ..... then relatively flat is, but a steady 400m climb for the rest of the day over some 26-27km.
Yes today I am planning on a 31km day ..... its actually easy walking and get up a good stride.
There are quite a few small towns along the way to Cea .... my original destination. At Cea a coffee and bread roll with smoked meats and pickles ..... then press on .... I have a determination and a steady pace, arriving in Oseira by 2pm. The Abbey/Monastry is is very imposing, medieval, fortress like and dominates the beautiful smal town .... the albergue is barn like, loads of atmosphere .... I had booked into a near by B+B, cosy, comfortable and quiet.
Some lunch a beer then the accom and a clean up ..... then reflection on events that saw me solo again.
Diner at one of the bars and a quiet night then rest.
