[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1151662, member: 41003"] Made it to Portomarin and we were 2 and 3 in line for beds at the mega-Xunta albergue with 88 beds. We are sleeping with many new best friends tonight in dorms with many beds. Photos later. We chose a bottom and top bunk by the door where we could use our double plug eztension for our CPAP machines. Good purchase that extension! Had a menu del dia. I had Caldo Gallego for my starter which was very good. It continues to drizzle. We will find a grocery store for tomorrow's provisions. The kitchen is magnificent as usual in Galicia Xunta Albergues with not a single utensil. There is a microwave so instant Cafe con leche is possible tomorrow. Might try to find a cup for Phil so I don't have to share. Yes, selfish, I know... We will get fruit and something for lunch tomorrow. Portomarin is a stage town so lots of pilgrims here, but not as many as if they started on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. A mix of new and experienced pilgrims in line waiting to get into the albergue. Met a man from Wales, a girl from California, a woman from Taiwan, and one from South Korea. Tomorrow to Hospital to a smaller Xunta albergue. I am certain these will be perfect for students and available in the winter. Food may he a different story, but I will work that out even if I have to taxi somewhere and back for pizzas. Distances seem much longer when you are walking. Phil did great today. Distance was short and the road surface stable. Not too many steep climbs. Climbing all day tomorrow, but its only 13 or 14 km. Loved our new Altus ponchos. No commercial relationship with them, but highly recommended by Janet and Phil![ATTACH]149606[/ATTACH][ATTACH]149608[/ATTACH][ATTACH]149609[/ATTACH][ATTACH]149607[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
