I left early in the morning and realised when I was about 5 km out that I sTill had my room key in my pocket! It was too late to go backs I continued on. Later this evening I received a call to ask if I had the key and to ask if I could leave it at this hotel and they would have it returned - all good. A couple of harder hills than had been anticipated but nothing too strenuous. Started to warm up as the day went on. Nobody in the hotel when I arrived so had to call them to come and open up. Then I find out they don't do dinner so I will go for a walk into town and find something. I decided not to go to town but to go to a Local shop and buy some cheese, ham, bread and a bottle of local wine. That was my dinner looking out over the beautiful countryside. Also, breakfast doesn't start until 8.30 which is far too late for me as I like to be on the road by 8 and get some miles under my belt before it starts getting warm. Or as in the case tomorrow, there is rain forecasted so I'd like to reach Pedrouzo before it arrives. I mentioned this to the lady of the hotel and she will arrange for food to be available early. Just realised that when she knocked on my door to give me the phone call about the key I only had my jocks whilst having my sandwich and wine. She will probably tell tales about weird Australians. Getting to the pointy end now.only 2 more days, 2 more walks and 2 more hotels. The weather forecast for Santiago is not good so my vision of arriving at the cathedral and sitting in the square when I arrive might not be the go. That doesn't matter at all.

John Edwards Glad to hear you dress for dinner. What's all this about 'wierd Australians'? Thought you were a Mancunian! A wierd one, maybe, but Mancunian, nonetheless. That poor woman will be mentally scarred for life now ...
Pat newlove Sounds a great dinner to me! I love fresh, crusty bread! Glad you are approaching the end and without any catastrophes! Life Silverthorne very mundane or welcomed as boring. Although don't suppose you will get back to a clear desk. If you are visiting any patisserie in Paris will you have one fort me, please? I don't eat cream so you can enjoy it for me. keep in touch and good luck for the last few kilometres - I am able to adapt better than John!
Chris Hadley On her sheet I am down as Australian and I am traveling on my Australian passport. This will be particularly useful in Paris as the French a re much more friendly towards Australians than the Eeeenglish! As for my dining attire. I probably smell better in my jocks than in my clothes which haven't been washed for some time. At least with underpants they can be worn 4 times: inside out and back to front. Job done! Enjoy those thoughts.
Chris Hadley I had a beautiful lunch today having arrived earlier than I had anticipated. And will be enjoying my dinner too. Of course I will have a cream something or other for you. Although I have to fit that in with pain au chocolat for Ella. Yes, one day and walk to go. I am hoping to arrive in Santiago at lunchtime, depending on the weather which is not looking promising. Is had visions of getting to the cathedral and sitting in the square but that might not be possible but we will see. Feeling good and no blisters, pulled muscles, etc. Probably just need a few days where I am not continuingly opening up the backpack and putting everything away again. Glad everything is ok with you. Catch up soon. Love Chris Xxx
EJ The underpants incident... Well that would never have happened if .... Lol. Just saying!
