Last night we stayed in a very nice hotel, it even had a gym and swimming pool. Slight problem, we didn’t feel like any more exercise and the pool was green. The must only have the filters turned on during summer.
All along the trip we see signs warning motorists of deer crossing the road, we actually saw 3 or 4 deer today, running through a clearing in the forest. They were moving too quick to get a photo.
We often see Hydrangeas in gardens or beside the road, Janice snapped a photo of these.(Janice is actually the photographer for this blog).
The path today took us through rolling hills, what would be day on the Camino without a hill or two, and through fields of corn as well as Eucalyptus tree plantations. It is Autumn here and the trees are starting to lose their leaves, we have been walking along paths lined with oak trees. The leaves have been falling, as have the acorns. The path’s are littered with fallen acorns.
Once again we managed our arrival timing well, just as we arrived into Palas del Rei it started to rain. After we settled and we went to the bar to get a drink and snack pilgrims were arriving after having to walk in the rain.
