The day started out bright and beautiful with not a cloud in the sky. The beds were probably the best on the Camino so far though really crowded. Since we had checked in much later than usual, we did not have the best of places. Our beds were right by the door so, everytime somebody entered or left, they would walk past us. In spite of that, we still had a good night´s sleep. Today´s walk was to be fairly short into Triacastela, only 12 kms away. The thing about this walk which made it quite difficult, was that it was a steep decline on a very rocky and often muddy path, littered with cow patties. Yea, my nose is plugged and I can´t smell a thing. We got into Triacastela quite early, about 11 a.m. after passing through a few small dairy villages. I am not feeling so great so stopping early is a plus for many reasons. We hope to catch up on our emails and laundry and now, we have the best beds in the room. The Albergue is fairly new, bright and spacious, well equipped with laundry machines and internet facilities. Let´s see what the rest of the day brings. We are now 137 kms from Santiago. Sarria is the starting point for all those people who want to do the minimum 100 kms to qualify for a Compostella or a certificate of completion. Therefore, we expect to encounter many more people on the road and in the Albergues. People that we have been traveling with plan to be in Santiago by next Sunday. We have not planned that far ahead.
