A good breakfast and out before dawn ... early in a clear sky and a well marked off road Way climbing .... an hour on and the first coffee, at Hospital with very friendly hostess is also the last opportunity for three hours, past the Muxia junction and past Denys and friends camping free in the woods and reporting on the amazing manifestation of two bananas when they were really hungry yesterday, their friends having gone ahead with the provisions ... Patrick nurses strained muscle, harder downhill than up, all the way to Corcubion and a coffee plus generous tortilla tapa ... leaving him there to do last stage solo ... some ritual planned for the finish ... last 15 tough enough, a small cerveza without tapa at beachside bar to maintain balance between bars working from the heart and those corrupted by the cash ... the opportunity being to resist reaction and work on melting hearts a little ... to elicit a smile at least, though at small beer place mother, having been consulted on price for the pilgrim, later launches into tirade against hapless son, the task perhaps too great today ...
At La Espiral Andrea is in charge, the others on siesta ... after shower it's off out for some food in a half-closed, off season Fisterra ... which turns out well .... while back at the Albergue Nil has arrived, joining an international cast of pilgrims from Mexico, Sweden ... plus Fatima and Simone, making supper ...
