31. nap

As Paredes/Castromaior -> Baamonde (34 km)

Ma elég hosszú napot mentünk, aminek az az oka, hogy a Vilalba és Baamonde közötti 19 km-en nem nagyon van szállás. Ezért ma vagy 15 km lett volna vagy ez a 34.

Egész jól bírtuk ezt is, már valószínűleg kellően megedződtünk fizikailag.

A nagy hír az, hogy a mai albergue-től a hivatalos útjelző kövek szerint pontosan 100 km van hátra Santiago-ig. Remélhetőleg hamarosan célba érünk :)

16.11.217, Etappe 65: Vilalba - Baamonde (20km/ igKM 1094,5/ KM bis Santiago 100,5):

Mitten in der Nacht - naja, um 4h - wache ich auf. T. ist schwer aktiv und werkelt in der Küche. Hat der senile Bettflucht??? Später stellt sich heraus, dass er P. nach der Uhrzeit fragte und ihn falsch verstanden hat: er glaubte, es sei 6:30h! Als er seinen Irrtum bemerkt, legt er sich wieder hin und wir schlafen alle noch eine Runde.

Nach einem fürstlichen Frühstück (von T. nächtens vorbereitet!!!) machen wir uns gemeinsam auf den Weg. Heute ist es nicht mehr herbstlich, sondern winterlich! Die Sonne scheint, doch Nebel lässt ihre Wärme bis zur Mittagszeit nicht durchdringen. Wir laufen im „losen Verbund“ - was ich genieße. Denn ich laufe gerne allein - besonders wenn die Landschaft so schön ist wie jetzt (wie eine englische Parklandschaft!). Doch ist es schön, immer wieder andere zu treffen, sich zu unterhalten und gemeinsam einen Kaffee zu trinken.

Schon gegen 14:30h sind wir bei der Pilgerherberge in Baamonde. Die anderen zwei laufen noch 10km weiter - doch ich schone meine Knie. Später kommt noch ein Fahrradfahrer in die Herberge, ein junger Mann aus Singapur. Die Herberge hat Platz für 94 Pilger - jeder von uns hat ein Zimmer und ungefähr 4 Stockbetten für sich allein!

Das wichtigste hätte ich fast vergessen: mit diesem Ort bin ich 100km von Santiago de Compostela entfernt. Ab morgen muss ich mir jeden Tag zwei Stempel für meinen Credencial holen!

Day 26 - The one with 100

As there was rain in the forecast I wanted to start early - the earlier I arrive the longer everything have to dry, including me. After all I left around 7 which meant pitch black with still smoke in the air from the forest fires blown by the wind. Not a pleasant start.

There was a hint of rain in the morning however the all day showers forecasted never came. Actually I was really glad about that.

I managed to have such a good rithm that I passed a fork where the suggested way diverged from the official. I think I missed some kind of fountain or spring but at least my way got slightly shorter.

I first took a rest after 15k and 2:30 mins. Given that for the first hour I barely saw the path making orientation difficult I was quite happy about my progress. It was here where I realised that I’m on a different way than I’ve planned and so the first bigger town - the suggested end for the day, Baamonde - was less than an hour away. So I cut my break short and went on to have a tea there, get more compede from the pharmacy and have a second breakfast. I was hoping to get a stamp from the albergue but they would not do it as it was before opening time. Despite that the maintainer was standing right there …

So I went on, picked up some bread just before Miraz where the albergue run by the Confraternity of Saint James from the UK. I got there by 2pm after 35k.

The bedbug paranoia and awarness was just one of the reasons I liked the place from the start. It also had a fireplace that set a cozy atmosphere.

Today I’ve also crossed the 100 mark - actually by quite a bit: Miraz is at 85 :)

Camino Day 26: Baamonde to Miraz

The band played on until 4. So, by 8am (the magical hour by which pilgrims must leave), Mikey was slowly trudging out the door.           First stop was clearly coffee and orange juice. Now forgive me if we’ve already spoken about this, but orange juice in Spain is an interesting affair worth mentioning.            In almost every bar/cafe that is open in the mornings, there is some type of…

Camino Day 26: Vilalba to Baamonde

Today was supposed to be a good bit longer of a walk, but it was as Mikey’s first day back in shoes. Let’s just say, it didn’t go quite as expected.                We left a little before 8am this morning. Above are the picnic tables where Mikey enjoyed local wine and cheese last night while FaceTime-ing with his parents.        Today was a mostly flat walk, so it was a good chance to try out the…

Days 13 - 15: Mondonedo to Arzua The day after we stopped in Mondonedo was awful - it started raining almost immediately and further, we had an unbelievable 12km uphill in some freezing mizzle. Our waterproofs couldn't take the constant damp and failed miserably so we stopped at Abadin, after a pitiful 20km day, soaked through and freezing. To be fair it was nice to dry out, relax, charge everything up, put a lot of photos on Dropbox - but it was pretty demoralising seeing constant rain out of the window and thinking "are we going to have to go out in this tomorrow?!?!" We waited in the morning til it stopped raining and got to Vilalba, where we had lunch and did a shop, and cracked on down to Baamonde, where we had this fantastic albergue (big enough for 90 people) all to ourselves. Seb dismantled the front of his bike in the hope of fixing the wobble and in the morning we set out in the FROST. I was NOT expecting frost in Spain, what a fool! Hands frozen in minutes, didn't warm up for about 2 hours but I was distracted by the beautiful day. We took a shortcut away from the N road which took us over a challenging hill covered in windmills. It was deserted apart from getting chased by a couple of angry farmyard dogs. Then - the wonderful sign to Santiago and our 600th km! Achievement.
