Part of hill facing us mananaTonites albergue in Val arceCatching up to SteveCouple from Chicago and Pat from Cork
Today i folded up my towel and then left it behind. Found out that
drying off on a handkerchief is tricky but the albergue owner sold me
a new one
Steve and I are now one full day ahead of the planned schedule. We either slow down or end up with 2 rest days in Sarria waiting for Dave to arrive. Its a nice problem to have as the weather in the hills is unpredictable. Tomorrow we climb to another major peak and we arent sure there will be accommodation.
Tomorrow’s steep climb is expected to be hard even though its only 12 km. Dave wasnt able to find accommodation at the hilltop. So steve and i are going to ship our knapsacks to the albergue on top, pick up the bags when we arrive and continue down the other side until we find a bed
Weather today threatened rain all day but all we got were enough drops to force us to wear rain gear. That makes you sweat even more. Met up with a pilgrim from County Cork, who has been on stages of the Camino in 2015, 2016 and now. So when people asked if he started in St Jean, france he replies that he started there in 2015 but he’s a slow walker
