The lyrics of one song kept going through my head today, “what goes up must come down”🎵
I have not been very good about reading much information about what the upcoming day is going to look like. So today was a surprise as far as elevation and number of climbs.
So quiet solo hikes in the forests are for other times.
Fun moments…
The three Portuguése Caminos are making their way together. In Vigo the Literal and the Coastal converge toward Rondondela and then at Pontevedra all three form the last walk toward Santiago. Also, from Vigo to Santiago is the 100 k mark to Santiago, so there are many new people on their quest for their Companstello. Also there are lots of tour busses with short day Camino walkers
Meeting lots of new friends…
Day 11
Food today…
A good, hard day of rain, climbing and crowds, with dome pilgrims playing music without headphones😵💫. Ending with laundry laughs, a great albergue, being reunited with my bag that I had transported after two days missing, a great room mate (Emily) and wonderful dinner.
Glad you were reunited with your bag!
Yes, it was not much fun taking a shower and putting on your same Camino clothes, sleeping in them and then hiking in them the next day😵💫. I warned people not to get too close.
You can do this! So proud of you. My feet ache thinking of the uphill.
Funny that the uphill didn’t hurt my feet as much as the flat on the coast. But it gave my buns a workout🥰
