[QUOTE="Grizzlybero, post: 1189150, member: 110261"] Another beautiful day dawns on the Primitivo. Some early risers in the dorm this morning, as the first opportunity for many days surfaces for those that want to stretch their legs further than the next on-stage stop at O Cadavo. It has been a bottleneck in regard to accommodation options since Hospitales, and some of the fitter hikers are licking their lips (metaphorically) as they can hike an extra 8km today to lengthen their leg and charge on to Santiago. And then, of course, there is the opposing Aussie strategy, of shortening legs where we can, and a great desire to get off-stage once more in the easiest way possible, and away from the surprisingly large number of people hiking this supposed less trafficked hike in October. So, steady as she goes, on to Cadavo we say. Today's stage was the most physically demanding thus far, and I'd suggest looking at the remaining track, it will be the hardest day of the Primitivo in its entirety. Elevation is gained and lost all day, and in the latter stages there is a significant (by Camino standards) and very steep climb. Our stocks of food held up well, as we started the day aided by a magnificent bakery that opened at 7:30am,serving the most delectable and delicious pastries we have had so far. A banana for morning tea, a baguette with ham and cheese for lunch, and a charcuterie board of barra, wild boar, tuna, brie, chorizo and asparagus saw us finish the most religious of all the days out in style. Our food held up surprisingly well in the pack, even on a hot day, we were pleasantly surprised not to suffer any ill effects from our unrefrigerated produce. The municipal albergue did fill by the end of the day, with the last of the hungover younger brigade hobbling in just before 5pm after a tough afternoon in the hot and sunny weather. Total spend on day 9 for 2 people: €23 Total beds occupied in albergue: 22 Total road/concrete walking %: 15 [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20231008_084759.jpg"]157944[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_2023-10-09-17-09-59-84_d9aa206de00b4b7c29deeb8e9ccbd9e7.jpg"]157945[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
