Ocebreiro to Triacastela

21km today.    When we started out it was dark, there was  driving wind and rain but we were comfortable enough in our ponchos.  It lightened up and the rain stopped.  It turned into quite a nice day.  We had one very steep climb that was very muddy and slippery.  The scenery today was lovely once again.  Mostly farming and lots of cows.  We had a herd of cows coming towards us on a country lane with no escape at one stage and that was quite scary.  They all had horns even though they were cows.  I wonder if that is where the idea of running from the bulls comes from.
We have seen lots of chestnut trees over the last couple of days but they aren't ready yet.
We came into Triacastela after a long 8km steep descent and we were very grateful to find our accomodation.
134km to Santiago but whos counting?
