The adventure home

On July 28, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

We left our little Santiago hotel room in the morning, meeting Sarah not far off at her albergue to give a fellow vegetarian hiker the extra protein powder we had. She walked with us most of the way to the train station. Mandy had booked us on a morning train to Madrid. We got there …

The last hike

On July 26, 2017July 26, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

We shared our room at Casa Riamonte with a friendly, young Spanish family - mom, dad and two young sons, about 6 and 4. They were a fun change of pace from our usual albergue mates. No snoring, except for the fake, funny snore the older boy made in jest. We got up early and …

Rope swing round two

On July 24, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

After last night's laundry dilemma we had a quick drink then headed to our bunks. We had carefully selected one near a window so we could get some fresh air, as the rooms are frequently quite warm. Luckily the place was only half full so not too much rumbling around was going on. I've certainly …

Backwards information

After a wonderfully restful night, despite a few annoying mosquitoes that buzzed around but luckily did not bite, we got up for another day. We were to have a short hiking day so we took our time, letting the others in the room pack up and leave. Having coffee and toast we chatted with a …

Back to the future

After a dreadful night with one of the worst snorers imaginable, we got up to find that fortunately the forecasted rain came during the night. We ate a quick breakfast breakfast from out packed food, said a goodbye to Sarah as she headed off to Muxía and who knows where from there. We started out …

Until we meet again

After a late night of pilgrim revelry, including Mandy managing to keep up with Tony, beer for beer and Stephanie and me polishing off several bottles of Spanish wine, all while moving from rock to rock to get the best vantage point for the sunset, we managed to get up and packed. As we had …

The coast of death

On July 20, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

We have been enchanted with Muxía and the albergue where we are staying so decided to stay an extra day. The area has been known as the Coast of Death due to the many ship wrecks over the years, but is also known for all the conger eel fishing and drying still done in the …

The highway man came riding up to the old inn door

On July 19, 2017July 19, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

We woke up to a wet world after a good night's sleep. We packed our packs and went downstairs for a breakfast of toast and coffee. We were hard pressed to get started as it had begun raining. We donned all our rain gear and started out. It was to be a relatively short hike, …

The magic box

On July 19, 2017 By redpathateaseIn Camino PrimativoLeave a comment

 We had a bit of a "lie in" sleeping till almost 8 before stirring. Luckily the meditation "ohm-ing" didn't begin until 9 just as we were leaving. Can't say I was sorry to see the end of that spot. After wandering around town a bit looking for an ATM, we stopped for coffee, running …
