Raindrops keep fallin’on my poncho .

17 Sep

imageSetting off for O Pedrouzo, in the aforementioned rain was not too bad, as we were well protected and we walked under a lot of tree canopy, very common to trails in Galicia. The countryside , here, is never overwhelming, characterised as it is by forests  and valleys, however, it is verdant and has a calming effect, together with tiny, sometimes semi- abandoned,  hamlets, often with no apparent name; mysterious.

 

We made steady progress, throughout the morning and reached our Pensione, Estrella Dorada, in time for a light lunch.

O Pedrouzo is a tiny place, not a lot to see, but some friendly bars and restaurants. We had time to plan our last section, for the next day, to Santiago de Compostela.

 

Because of the rain, neither Penny, nor I took many photos on this stage , but here are some earlier pics, which captured the Camino for us, so far.

 

Penny and Matt, as first- timers, took a great deal of interest in collecting” Sellos, “the stamps required in your Pilgrim Passport, from places along the way, which included a range of stops, from the great cathedral in Lugo, to a donkey stop in a field!

If you look closely, you can spot the donkey.

Matt, looking very pleased with his collection, to date.

Fairer  weather forecast for the last day’s walk, which was to be one of contrasts.
