22/5 Sunday Hospital to Muxia 28kmLast night the car arrived as planned and Christoph, from Berlin, joined Tatjana and I for the evening meal. Noodle soup with chorizo seemed mostly to be from a packet but the beef stew and potato was tender and delicious. We had a quiet night despite the thunderstorm! Tatjana and I are both clearly not early starters so headed out together, up the road to the bar for breakfast - no lift this time. It was Sunday do we both bough...

21/5 Saturday Santa Mariña to Hospital 18kmLast night's dorm was almost full and only a single room with shower and loo for 10. Fortunately I was first to arrive so in and out of the shower before it got busy.Having a drink before dinner was not the most relaxing with so many flies everywhere.

A nice meal but so good to spend the last night, for most people, together. Lots of fond farewells at the end of the evening. My new bunk had a heavy snorer down below and a lot of street party noise too so in the night I moved out and slept well ...

18/5 Wednesday Lavacolla to Santiago 10km Having carried my 13kg pack over 800km I decided my aching shoulders had earned a bit of slack so I plan to buy some kind of light hold-all and use a baggage service for my continuing walk to Finisterre. I also did a little forward planning of accommodation as I need to begin considering flights home from Santiago. The evening meal worked well with Tanya assisting in the kitchen. I’d bought a tin of anchovies and T...
