Hi,
calmly walked songwriter in recent days, which is in turn a lack Internet terminals ... the supply of internet connections seems to be more likely to have increased since gone back along the path. But now I have another opportunity to write a short report about our last days.
Am 22.04. Are we, as my foot pain is getting worse and I run almost without support could not, again with the bus down. We have followed the plan, which we had taken prior to our trip, the plateau between Burgos and Leon to skip lunch and have taken the bus directly to Leon. In Leon, we billeted us in the urban hostel. An absolute pleasure ... after our return in the coming week I will post a picture on this ;-) The external appearance is deceptive, however. Despite about 200 beds and youth groups to 50 people a friendly atmosphere and we have the opportunity to exchange views with one or the other taken on the bus ride fellow pilgrims. In the afternoon we used to visit the cathedral, which during 700 years of legendary built and opened in 2010 every day because of the Holy Year is. Because of the usual meal times in Spain (from about 20.00 clock in the evening, the kitchen is open in the restaurants), we departed once today "from the right path down" and provided us the BURGER KING with a delicious menu. Before again, talk, the way I would just because of the culinary side go ... hey guys, I've already lost 8 kg ;-) Whether the bus ride or the food have made us so tired ... no idea ... but at 20.30 clock we both were already asleep in bed. On 23
morning I put there is very little pain in the foot and so we decided to stage a short of about 20 km to Villadangos del Paramo to wander. A reasonably safe affair, runs the way but only on the edge of the highway 120 to Astorga, and so we would have the opportunity, if the health of us draw a line through the bill would, in some small villages to board a bus. Was not necessary. In fine weather, as we are almost at all during our entire trip could enjoy, we created the Complete, 20 km. More, it would also have allowed not to be. The hostel is clean and comfortable in Villadangos therefore with camp beds and a nice kitchen. In the evening, an English woman then provides amusement, called the snorer in every 50 people dorm to order and asked to change the room ... wonderful ... I do not know what people expect sometimes ... they are Hostels Although in most cases in order and the hygienic The default is to believe, especially in the private hostels, significantly higher than Hapes book does it, but from a hotel where they are far away. In any case, it managed the nice lady not to move even a snorer to get changed. Who would have thought ;-) Very nice by the way was an experience in a local bar .. due to a Fiesta in Castile and Leon, all shops closed today and we had to provide in said bar with a few drinks. We were with a big hello from the inhabitants of the village who had gathered apparently complete, welcomed us and we wanted to discover the secrets of a card game, which will be formally celebrated here. I know after watching anderthalbstuendigem now the rules. The winner is whoever yells loudest ;-))
On 24 we continued our way around the Herrgottsfruehe towards Astorga. The stage would be 33 km long, so we recognized that we spend part of this card includes a bus. We managed a total of 15 km to the Hospital de Orbigo, where there were two years ago in a bar, a wonderful pound cake. Even before yesterday again ... hmmm ... all Piler be asked in this bar to perpetuate themselves in a guest book and when we had finished our record, the waitress still remembered in all seriousness because we were two years ago, there already and digs out the book and then our record ... really sweet. Our bus will then put the remaining 17 km back to Astorga and sought a place to sleep in the hostel of the Friends of the Caminos Astorga. Hospitalero Alfredo was a really nice person, who rejoiced most extreme when he heard that we come from Aachen ... it is the other pilgrimage to Aachen Hoexter passed in 2002 and raved about in the skies of our home town. He gave us a map with all routes in Westdeutschlnd Jacob. An impressive network and we began to make plans for our next Camino. Nijmegen would be sure nice to Liege to Cologne or Trier, the distance that a former colleague has passed some time ago and has about it veoeffentlicht his book "My third way". We visited in the Roman Astorga Museum and the Cathedral. The GAUDI Palace outside before we left ... we had seen him two years ago and he is only impressive from the outside. In the evening we were asked by Alfredo, perpetuate our online guestbook of the hostel. We did that of course you. The result is online and you can see it under www.pilgrimportrait.com.
Yesterday, on 25 We then put a Busetappe to get to our destination much closer. can we took the bus to Lugo, the capital of the region, not knowing how we would get stuck, because there is not really a nationwide bus network, but just about every Tour released over a radius of 20 km. Once in Lugo we found an immediate subsequent bus service, which according to us Melide and thus brought back to the Camino. We were still 50 km from Santiago and the 50 km we were seeking to complete on foot. Melide the way, has a reputation as the best pulpo (octopus) served in Spain and Melissa wanted to not let me think again. It staggered us in a Pulperia in which the octopus cooked in front of the guests in huge cauldrons, then was cut and served. In view of the tentacles and suction cups on the plate I decided I would rather for a salad plate. I still tried to look like this Melis octopus, which was served with olive oil and pepper ... not bad ... would have to just different, it would even be great. But so ... no, thank you! After dinner we sat still for some time in the marketplace of Melide and watched the young talent in the Primera Division for the football games. That was funny, because in addition to some of us older ladies were sitting on a bench and again involuntarily involved in the play were by the way ;-) The local inn was described in our Route-guides as "strong complete refurbishing. This renovation was carried out to date also, so the inn was built as a container in a village hall. For a night quite useful, if not some Spaniards had set itself the goal crazy to go today, the last 50 km to Santiago and broken up at 4.30 so would be. At 7.00 we went clock even for us after the third last stage Arzua. Galicia offers eucalyptus forests, palm trees and the famous granaries an idyllic atmosphere. The current 15 kilometers went in spite of the known ailments such as foot lubricated, so we were already at 13.00 clock with a slight sunburn in Arzua and moved into our beds in the private hostel "Don Quixote". The showers here are about as big as our kitchen, this is a washing machine (urgently necessary), dryer and internet. So all we need. Before I started this post, I am sure the website of Ryanair, and that our flight on 1 May start as scheduled. So right now everything goes according to plan. Tomorrow we go to Arca O Pino and the day after passing the airport on the last 20 km to Santiago. If it is the Internet Cafe in Arca still there, I'll report back tomorrow. For today I have a quote of the day:
The biggest risk in life is that one is too cautious. (Alfred Adler)
