This morning we left the beautiful gardens at Casa Goris ...
We have found we had a lack of information due to the absence of a proper detailed map of the route we are taking.
Instead we are working with an uninformative photocopy of the trail with limited info provided by the Office of Tourism.
Because of this "Molly" (our GPS) the woman of the house, oh I mean the woman of the "Citroën C3"(GPS) ... has trouble finding her way and our "Chase" car sometimes has great difficulty knowing where we are ...
We walked and for the first time on the walk we found some signage and a café in Castro on the"Way" for a quick cool drink of juice for me and Cola Light with ice with for Madame M.
The water of life ....
We walked far and near to the new railway bridge...
Señor Honey is astonished at the amount and extent of new road and rail construction; all built to standards rarely seen in North America.
While we see numerous construction projects (houses and apartments) in an unfinished state it is clear that a considerable portion of Spain's national debt has gone in to infrastructure which will in time aid Spain's economic recovery.
We finally found our way to Ponte Ulla..
As we crossed the old bridge into Ponte Ulla ... we were greeted by a local Señora who we think had just come back from a walk on the Camino ... she had a bag full of pine cones!
a quick drink and some calamares and we were on our way.
Wind beneath my wings ... we were so appreciative of the warm breezes when the wind was blowing...
Finally ... Outeiro
Our day finished with the "Hunt for Casa Roberto" ...
This place was not easy to find ....
Spanish lawn mowers ...
After we found our way to Casa Roberto, checked in and settled in ...
The Señors spent a little time in the Bodega.
Then we headed down the road to a local bar ... here Madame M. and Monsieur Guy were able to cheer on the Belgian Red Devils as they won the match of soccer.
Here the amigos are walking back to the Casa ... soon dinner!
