Lugo

9 am bus to Lugo tempts injured pilgrims and maybe some put off by the weather forecast. .. anyway only one other encountered all day - Rene from Nantes ... an hour chatting, mostly in French, before 8 km coffee stop in Castroverde ... after that solo all the way and fast ... just one more brief rest stop at 15km and on into the rain, changing from light to heavy and never actually stopping ... wet gear mostly copes and opportunity is taken to enjoy the journey in the mind ... at Lugo a Vegan menu del dia appears and taken before finding bed ... conversation in bar leads to simple room in Residencial San Roque ... a solo treat for €24 ... pilgrim engagement can wait until tomorrow ... forecast drier and Ferreira Albergue with Ton and Ria planned ...shorter day and last before Frances merges at Melide and Norte at Arzua ... maybe 2 long stages to Santiago, then Fisterra to see the family at La Espiral ...
