Set off at 6.30 in pretty murky conditions. Tough going uphill in very rocky tracks for the first few miles. Met a few people who got caught in yesterday’s storm and their stories were grim, but were all upbeat today, and with yet another Camino tale to tell. Today included the highest point of the Camino at just over 5000 feet. It was poignant to meet fellow walkers at the Cruz Ferro (iron cross) which, unbeknown to us!, is a very famous landmark and one which walkers leave a stone at to symbolise the unburdening of one’s more negative memories. It was quite moving although if Susan offered to take any more photos of people arriving I thought we were there for the day. Onwards to Molinaseca where we checked into our attic apartment by a lovely Brazilian, Jose. While waiting to check in we met Norbert our normally abstemious Belgium friend who was on the beer as he had just heard that he was going to be a grandfather again. We had a relaxing afternoon and decided to take advantage of our small apartment and buy some bread and cheese and have a quiet night in. As if…. On the way to the supermarket we met a lovely Australian chap who we had met previously hanging out his laundry and who suggested a beer, and then Wolfgang and Germaine so best laid plans and all that. Anyway we got home via the local supermarket and enjoyed some cheese, bread and wine in our attic.

The path downhill looks pretty treacherous, not for me 🙀. Bonny stones 🥰🥰 xxx
