Snakes And Ladders (Day Six on the Camino)

This is Monday's walk...

Our Walk today started in Silleda ... "Allez"  ... On to the next place!

The directions / signs took us from the paved highways to the "Real Caminos"

It was like a game of "snakes and ladders" ... Up and down, zig-zagging and criss-crossing between the rural "Caminos" and the paved roads and highways.

It was not an exciting walk today ... not a lot of sites well maybe I should correct myself because we did meet up with our Señors in Bandeira before we headed to our next destination.

It is amazing at the Spanish cafés when you order a drink ... "If you are hungry when you leave it is your own fault"...

It is on the house ...

                   

Toxa River

We criss-crossed the highways ...once through a tunnel under the N525 which was decorated with crosses and the emblematic clam shells ...

And then we had to walk on the overpass over the "Auto-Pista" ... I had to once again face my fears about heights.

You never walk alone ... Madame M. and her new friend.

We walked further than planned and we are actually ahead of our planned itinerary for our walking days...

We finally found Dornelas and the nearest intersection on the highway to meet up with the "Señors".

We headed back to Merza with a detour at a Monastery ... this one is under restoration and the inside is totally empty.

We dined at Casa Goris this evening after meeting some Flemish pilgrims who had been biking from Seville to Santiago. It is a small world ... These lovely people do not live far from Madame M. and Monsieur Guy's hometown in Belgium.

Three more days ...
