Yesterday I went to Inmas school to talk to the students. I was asked to talk about my travels and inspire the students to do well in school and see the world, incorporating a bit of geography, history and Ofcourse English. The school day started at 10:15am and went until 5:15pm so it was quiet a long day. I talked to 6 classes of students all in the upper primary. I really enjoyed it and the kids loved my photos and stories - maybe I have found the ideal job: g...

So this morning everyone raced out of the Albergue by 8am but us 4 took our sweet time chatting having a long breakfast and didn't leave till a...

After not a lot of sleep last night due to Mosquitos and my burnt lip I was up at 4am to say goodbye to my Portuguese friends. I decided to go back to bed for few hours but still get an earlyish start as there was rain expected. I took off by about 8:15am and there was rain for most of the morning - just drizzle really on and off not really enough to warrant rain gear but I did cover my pack. The aim today was to reach Pontevedra 18km by 1pm as Pontevedra Alber...
