The rain had been falling during the night and into the morning. Not wanting to spend the entire day in ponchos, we all decided to take a short day and head to Vilalba.
We took our time over breakfast in hope that the rain would stop – it didn’t. Ponchos on and into the drizzle we ventured. Straight on to a forest path, all dark and moody.
Samual and I edged ahead of the group and caught Judyta up. The three of us walked together for a while, chatting about our plans when we get to Santiago and beyond.
Not much scenery today as it was masked by the rain or in woodlands. But being with good company the wet kilometres flew by.
We arrived in Vilalba just after 1200h, hungry and drenched. We grabbed a drink in a cafe and a pincho de Tortilla y Potata – which really was a small portion, just more than a mouthful!
Once booked into the albergue, more familiar faces arrived Yorst and Ouni. After a quick trip to the supermarket for dinner, Elliot wanted to watch the football, so we made our way to a sports bar, then met up with few more of my Camino pals for food.
