We had coffee and pastry in the albergue and were walking by around 8:30am. Weather was cool and foggy for most of the morning so the walking conditions were good. The path was on a rural highway for some stretches but mostly on the gravel tracks and included some very good climbs. No bars or cafes for 2nd breakfast. While I was resting along the trail a fellow peregrino from 2014 came along (Tony from Australia - we had walked with him and his wife off and on for a few weeks in 2014). What a pleasant coincidence! After ~12km we stopped at a bar for lunch and it started to rain as we left. The “soft rain” continued for the rest of the day’s walking. The scenery would have been nice except for the morning fog and afternoon rain. We reached the very small hamlet of Santa Marina and checked in to Casa Pepa albergue. There’s nothing other than the albergue so we sat around the bar area and drank wine until time for dinner there.
The kilometers are winding down and now
mark the distance to Finisterre
Casa Pepa - where we stayed
walking in the rain!
Beautiful countryside
More forest tracks
Fog and farmlands
Tony from Australia! We were surprised to see
him walk up the trail as we met him
when we walked our second camino in 2013
