Penultimate day !
Our routine has definitely changed over the past few days. No more 5am starts - a much more civilised 8am followed by the taping of my feet before we go ! I don't think we could have done this in Castilla Leon due to the heat but Galicia is definitely cooler. A combination of the eucalyptus forests and mist / low cloud in the mornings.
We have now walked 460km (or 480km depending on what guide book you read). Today was only 22km but the terrain gave the soles of my feet a real battering.
Had a nice lunch on arrival (fabada - an Asturian bean stew which I love although anyone that followed me for the rest of the day would not have loved). After a siesta we wandered into the town centre (if that's what you can call it) and had beers with some of the guys we have got to know during the last three weeks. Quite strange how well you feel you can get to know someone after you have walked with them for a couple of days. Not something I really expected given that we are travelling as a couple.
20km remains - the flip flops are now wafer thin, just hoping that the strap doesn't break......
