30km + again today but a totally different experience than yesterday.
It started out a bit rainy but more drizzle than anything. It eventually stopped but we couldn't trust the weather enough to really pack the rain gear away.
We knuckled down and got on with it today. We chose the option that had the least climbs and it followed a flowing river and went through some nice villages.
We missed a turn so we did some extra kms. Eventually we joined a muddy slippery path.
Today was the steepest climb of the whole journey and we climbed for almost 10km, it was muddy and slippery but it was great to get the top and saw this fantastic village and found our accomodation. We are staying in a really old building and our room is so funny. We have to keep ducking our heads under ancient beams.
We are now in Galicia which is notoriously wet so we had better get used to it.
7 walking days and 155km to Santiago...
