Later leaving the cosy room and a quick cortado is enough to spark up the engine, fuel tank full enough after last night's meal ... passing pilgrim procession the 19 km to Santiago, grabbing a couple of bananas from trackside stall, onwards with brief buenas dias and buen caminos, another cortado this time with croissant, on again to Monte Gozo and Daniel, who indeed achieved his PB of 45km with heavy pack yesterday, having reached Santa Irena ... wandering into town, photos and lunch at the monastery and conversation about life in the modern Czech Republic, his next trip to New Zealand, ambition to be a pilot ....a bottle of wine leads to plan to stay, enquiry at reception establishes all pilgrim rooms reserved already and though options abound the legs set off for Negreira, the 20km first stage to Finisterre ...slow going as wine works through system but one foot in front of the other brings the destination with light to spare by 7.30 ... first open door is Albergue Lua with plenty of beds to choose from and plenty of blankets to make up for lack of heating ...
New pilgrim pal is Alex, a doctor from Slovenia, out for drink and cheese and bread pincho, with added philosophy ...
Tomorrow 35 for Casa Loncho ... maybe ...
