Buen Camino – 19 km – Santa Mariña

And I thought I have holidays. I left the Albergue in Negreia with Andrew, Holly and Steph.

Get your shoes

After 15 minutes walking we realised that we lost the Camino, too long walking on the road. I looked at my app and yes the Camino was left from us in the forest. But we couldn’t reach there from the road. Anyway after around 1 km the Camino came back to the road and we followed. Not long after I said “It starts raining a bit.” Andrew said “What makes you think like that?” “Just a feeling” I said. We got our backpack rain cover out. Five minutes later the rain got stronger. We got our raincoats out. And then it really started raining, not just a drizzle but heavy rain and wind. For the next five hours!!!

Still without rain
No rain yet
Well covered

My North Face raincoat doesn’t protect well anymore, is too old. Andrew’s rain poncho works better. I was completely wet, shorts , T-Shirt, underwear, was wearing my cap under the hoodie.

Isabel tries to cover Andrew

We had a coffee and a bite to eat here. The only break today.

Some nice flowers
Walking in the rain
More rain

Not much going on today. Trees and corn fields.

Arriving at Albergue Casa Pepa
Our wet stuff

After having a shower and some lunch resting now. I will fall asleep soon. Isabel and Christin had some lunch here, they will walk 12 km more to Oliveiroa. Steph is heading to Lago today, 7 km more. Amy and Grace stay also here. So we all can have our dinner together.
