Success!

Well folks, we were successful in our crazy attempt to climb a mountain and walk 32.5km in one day! Now we are unstoppable! I´m not going to lie, it was ridiculously difficult. We even tried to stop early because we were so tired and sore, but the only towns we passed through seemed very unwelcoming so we decided to walk on. After about 12 hours on the road (10.5 walking, 1.5 worth of breaks ) we finally rolled in to Triacastela. We were both very relieved that it was a nice place and both very relieved that the restaurant was only abot 50m down the street, had it been any further away we both would have opted to skip dinner and go to bed!

We had some great food, a good night´s sleep and got up this morning to do some more walking. I know, how very unlike us!

Today we walked abot 20km to Sarria, which seems like a nice place so far! The hostel is nice and only 4 people per room really cuts down the chances of getting stuck with a snorer! The clothes are washed, the feet are rested, so we are doing the usual afternoon hang out and wait for dinner routine.....I think we have spent almost as much time waiting for dinner so far as we have walking!

I´ll let you know how it is!
