Day 2
John walking, me at the medical centre for 4 hours waiting to see a doctor who didn't speak english, google translate helped. damage miniscus no walking! spoke to a local who was upset at my wait. He gave me a free lift to betanzos lovely man. Stayed at the Albergue.
Day 3 John walking in weather that was so bad there was a waterfall flowing down the high path after casa julia. I caught the bus 2+ euros couldnt cross the road to the hotel rain too heavy. Good tlc by meson do vento but apparently the Bruma albergue excellent ( quote from pellegrino).
Day 4
John made good time myself on a mon bus 2+ euros. Stayed at delia's albergue now this has only room for eight but brilliant! food juice fridge cooker washing machine etc.etc together with a lady that sews john's blisters Tapas bar 100 yards.
Day 5
John gone by 6.30 keen to get to the pilgrims mass. myself 2 euros and I was there. Johnny's guide had been great but john like myself when I walked the ingles last year found directions in confusing with other walks. cost him an hour Good weather too!
Pilgrim mass good it would be nice to shoot the tourists SMACK MY WRIST.
the Via Lucis where we stayed was Fawlty towers all over but the people were lovely. There were problems with a new heating system but a nunnery and a seminary joined was an unusual place. We both loved it and the english mass in the cathedral on the saturday was very emotional. manolos was packed but didnt see the crazy cuban ( hows your ankle?
