Day 13 - O Ribadiso da Carretera to Lavacolla


Planned distance of 30.5km
July 21st

Today was the last of the long days of walking. Only around 10km’s left to before we reach Santiago.

Before I get too excited, today started out misty and cold, this is great when walking long distances as you don’t overheat and you generally can keep a steady pace. The mist disappeared about an hour into our walk. It started warming up and we started to feel the heat. As usual we persevered and eventually reached O Pedrouzo and stopped for lunch. 

After a delightful lunch we continued our journey, this time having to cover up and it started to rain softly. The camera had to go under cover and could only make an appearance later in the day.

Today was one of the bad days, about 500m from the albergue my knee just could not continue. I stopped briefly and rested. A few stop goes and we made it to the albergue.  My knee was not having any fun. So had to rest it properly.

Not much to do or see in Lavacolla, so no need to go out. We decided to order pizza and eat in.

We only have 10km before our journeys end. And with that I have too many feelings to express, joy sadness, pain and the lost goes on. Time
Is needed to process all of them. Most of them at least, pain and sore feet will soon be forgotten.

Fluit fluit, my storie is uit.
