Books said today would be a hard day - so up early and on road by 8am (7am UK time so lights needed!). 8 Miles to Sarria for breakfast, then another 17miles for lunch at noon at Gonzar. We carried on via Palas de Rei to Melide for afternoon refreshments. Met the Belgain couple again who were staying in the hotel/restaurant.
As forecast today was full of ups and downs - we feel the hills aggregated into the big climbs of recent days. We are continuing to enjoy good weather - chilly mornings, hot afternoons, no rain, and wall to wall blue skies!
Staying at Aubergue Touristico, which was difficult to find but a newly built and lovely venue with interesting architecture. From the 9.50Euro menu Dan chose chicken, but was presented with what appeared to be lamb shanks. Chef was called and claimed this was not a supermarket chicken but locally reared like a turkey - agreed to replace with ordinary chicken. After consumption of the inclusive vino tinto and vino blanco this produced much merriment for the rest of the evening. For further details please discuss with Dan - but allow plenty of time!
