September 23: Barbedelo to Gonzard

 

Yes, about 65 klicks to go. if you can believe the Camino road signs. I Don t.

Walked through Portmorin to Gonzard because the majority of the pilgrims would have stopped at Portmorin including all of the part time Pilgrims who started at Sarria, and there were hundreds of them. Unreal. I Don,t like this. it sucks Bigly.

We have noticed that the feel and atmosphere is changing a great deal. It is becoming more expensive and commercialized. Many of the Albergues and cafes only take cash. Up until we entered Galicia 70 % or more of the Albergues and cafes and restaurants took credit but not now. Also the landscape is changing. It is flatter as we are out if the mountains now.

We look back and cannot believe we walked across and through the mountain range. Yet there are still hills here. Undulating hills. lots of hills. every village,town or small city is on top of a hill, which we have to climb. It seems that we are always climbing. The scenery is beautiful. Very lush and green. Small hills but hills nevertheless. I dream of hills. Weird. I know. A Pilgrim,s worst nightmare…hills.

A tree tunnel. Cool in a hot sun.

Hydrangea bush. Dot would love this.

Barbedelo had a pool. Very cold but we went in regardless. Gonzard was a very quaint Albergues with great food and beer. Loved it.

Tomorrow we walk to Melide, the octopus capital of the world or so Jerry tells me. 32 klicks.

Sorry for the lateness but the wifi over the last few days suck.

Read ya tomorrow.

Galicia province.

100 klicks to go.

More hills. Sure looks like Mexico to me.
