This morning I started off slowly after a rather hectic night with fellow Pilgrims. We celebrated passing the 100km marker. At least Spanish wine and beer do not have same affect as the SA ones.
As usual I was the last to leave the dorm. Then I found Alex, Nancy and Resi having breakfast. I joined them and ended up leaving with them. That was the start of a very slow day as none of us were in the mood to walk.
3km's down the line we were in Vilachá. I looked up and found the South African flag outside Albergue Banderas. At the gate there was fudge for sale. I popped in and met a South African lady and her partner helping out at the Albergue. It was really great to chat for a bit. The only thing they did not have was biltong and that's all I wanted.
After about 45 minutes we finally walked on again.
We arrived in Portomarín about 30 minutes later and we were hungry. We found a restaurant to feed our faces. It just so happened a classic car show was on the go, this reminded me of my friend Brian De Villiers. I took a couple of pics.
I told the guys that I was not going far and only planned another 8km's making the total for the day 13.4km's.
Nancy and I walked ahead of Resi and Alex.
We got to Gonzar at about 1:30pm.
We checked into Albergue Casa Garcia, rather a well maintained Albergue. It's a pity they did not have wifi, at least the bar up the road had it. The food was however really good.
Today was a real Sunday on the Camino, I think we all needed it.
