We had a leisurely breakfast this morning. It was still pouring so we were in no rush to leave for our 10 km walk. We donned our rain gear, covered our packs and braved the weather at around 10am. The walk so quite easy through a few picturesque villages though the weather made it more difficult to enjoy the view. We were quite impressed with the modern highways crossing the valleys high overhead, hundreds of feet above our heads. It was quite a feat of engineering and, even in the pouring rain, Bernie had his camera out every few minutes. We went through La Portela, Ambasmestas, Vega de Valcarce and stopped in Ruitelán, 168 kms from Santiago. The Alberque here is quite basic but the Hosteliero very warm and welcoming. They serve dinner and we were told that no one stirs unitl the music starts in the morning at 6:30. There is breakfast and then you can leave. So it will not be an very early start. We have a big day ahead of us as our next destination point is Fonfria. We will let you know tomorrow, how the climb went.
