[QUOTE="Stephen Nicholls, post: 182849, member: 12404"] Oh! That mountain pass! I remember it well, and will, to my dying day! From my diary "Pilgrimage I" on my web site .... "At this stage, my legs were beginning to ignore the instructions given by my brain. And I didn’t see the yellow arrows pointing left after the bridge. I climbed another kilometre up the hill towards the church, talking en-route to several cows who were tied up in the meadow. At the church I asked a local where my next night-stop might be. I had to retrace my footsteps back down to the bridge, apologising to the cows who looked at me quizzically, and finally after 22 kms reached the village of Rubiaes and my accommodation. I hobbled in, and booked myself in for TWO nights in order to recover. It was the sixth day of my pilgrimage from Porto. As my wife said “Even God rested on the seventh day…” It's a beautiful route - so why rush it? My pack weighs around 9 kms including water - just under 10% of my body weight. I read Albertinho's comment, and thought "3 underpants? THREE underpants?!?!" I find 2 perfectly adequate, using the usual washing facilities. [But maybe Albertinho has a medical need for three pairs ;)] [LEFT][ATTACH=full]7784[/ATTACH] [/LEFT] I finally stayed two nights in this little hotel - good value and comfortable, at the end of a long hard day. Bom caminho! [/QUOTE]
