Today went quickly. Stephen booked accommodation for tonight and when he checked it this morning he realised he had booked the wrong dates so he quickly got another hotel booked in the centre of Vigo instead. It was two km further than we had originally planned so handy enough.
Coming out of Sabaris we ran into a street market and bought some of the nicest fruit you could taste. Then when we walked through the neighbouring town of Ramallosa we bumped into two American ladies Lyndsey and Caeley from New Hampshire and walked the whole way to Vigo with them. We swapped stories of our families and upbringing etc and the km’s flew in. Lyndsey took charge of the job of finding a cafe that was open. Everywhere seemed to be closed due to Youth Day in Spain.
We found one and had a nice coffee with some small pieces of tortilla and a muffin bun.
Onwards we headed up through some marvellous trails up a small mountain stopping by at beautiful features like small waterfalls and views of the nearby Cies Islands. Lyndsey and Caeley are going there tomorrow for a day trip.
We continued on through forest trails until we came to a town where we had a nice lunch and a beer. Only 7km to go to Vigo and it went in super quick. Good company makes the days go faster for sure.
When entering Vigo we went past Celta Vigo’s stadium which is getting renovations done at present and is starting to look really well.
We eventually got to our hotels navigating the many streets of Vigo. The ladies went one way and we went the other but ended up in hotels 2 mins walk from each other.
We are washed and ready to go out for a few pints now then dinner at 7 or 8.
A short days walk tomorrow with 14km to a place called Cesantes which is just north of Redondela. So we might get a much needed lie-on tomorrow after a week of 7-8am starts.
Catch up tomorrow folks.
