Day four of the walk on the CAMINO ... From O Castro Dozon to Lalin on the "Way" and from Casarellos to Merza, we also changed our Casa today!
Our support team again drove us to the end of yesterday's walk in Dozon and we started on our way to Lalin ... our Señors were left with the task of packing up, checking out from our accommodations in Casarellos (which was our home base for the past three days).
We went to the Albergue to obtain our stamp but it was not yet open ... We had a hurried conversation with a local farmer who was excited about his flock of animals that he was moving (two cows, seven sheep and one donkey).
Luckily we did get a stamp at the local cantina ... Café Bar Canton in Castro Dozon yesterday when we had finished our walk ...
It was a mist filled morning ... and our first steps today were up the ascending road out of town and we were looking for the signs.
The Caminos are fairly well posted, but sometimes you need to search for the markings ...
It might be a "Yellow" painted arrow on the buildings, pavement, on a fence post ... or the official clam shell signs!
For the past couple of days there was another "Pilgrim" staying at Casa Casarellos ...
He did have the advantage of not carrying a backpack... and this wasn't his first "Camino".
Today it was noticeable that the landscape was changing...
The Caminos were varied from asphalt highways, dirt lane-ways, tunnelled caminos in dappled sunshine and only a little of the way was "rocky" ...
My feet have been very cooperative until yesterday ... the hotspots turned out to be blisters!
I soaked my feet last night and applied my special "Blister" bandaids or in Flemish for Madame M. ...
pleisters.
This morning I tried not to think about my sore feet and atoned for my sins ... as I walked on the "Way" and I found my soul or was it someone else's sole?
Our Señors were waiting for us when we arrived in Lalin...from here we found a surprise at a local restaurant ...
We were served a most delcious lunch of pork spareribs and sausages cooked on the wood fire with salad, "Frietjes" (French fries), wine and dessert served by the young daughters Laura and Naurie.
Then it was a drive to our next "Casa" (house/home) for the next three days in Merza...
Casa Goris...
After a long, hard day ...
Soon we need to go to bed ... Tomorrow ... "Will we make it from Lalin to Silleda???"
