Longest day
Unfortunately my blisters did not heal overnight and my feet were in severe pain today ... probably some more penance!
Today was our longest day of the walk so far ... over 17 kilometers ...
Lalin to Silleda ... It was a slow start this morning as our "Casa" is a further distance from the Camino route where we finished yesterday.
Our departure from Lalin was uphill and for the first three kilometers or so we walked along the highway (N525) ...then we were directed onto the "real" Caminos.
So to take my mind off my feet, I concentrated on the beautiful surroundings ...
The terrain again was varied ... the stony medieval paths were not friendly to our feet and legs.
A couple times we had to catch ourselves so as to avoid a sprained ankle or worse breaking some bones. Knocking on wood as I type this!!!
Madame M. said the landscape has changed from the earlier days ... Here she is walking on an ancient Roman road.
At this point we wanted to go left and enjoy a spa day!
Can you believe this...in the middle of nowhere on the Camino we saw these signs to call for a Taxi...
How do they know where you are?
I wanted to hail a taxi today ... "Taxi, taxi!" ... proudly I can say we ventured on and arrived in Silleda!
Our passports are filling up...
Eventhough Monsieur Guy isn't walking the Camino he has his own passport sheet that he gets stamped at the local cafés / restaurants where the two Señors drop us off and meet us.
At this stage of the walk Msr. Guy has more stamps than us ... the dedicated "peregrinos"!
