After our very long and tiring walk yesterday we decided to have a short day (for a change!) and set off at 0815hrs intending to reach A Laracha, some 12 miles away. Although it was a shorter journey than usual, it proved to be a painful one as a dose and a half of painkillers failed to alleviate the acute pain in my foot!
Listening to William's music on Ana maria's Ipod helped to ignore the pain. We found the road today leading us through more built up areas than the previous days, indicating we are getting near to la Coruna. Ana maria had fun photographing lots of different flowers. At one point the proud owner of the garden she was shooting insisted that we go in and view her garden from up close!
Many passing cars hooted as they went on their way as an acknowledgement that they knew we were doing the Camino to La Coruna. It lifted our spirits somewhat and we finally arrived in A Laracha at 12.30p.m., for a well deserved rest.
We are treating ourselves to a "suite" at the only local hotel and had lunch at the town's "hotspot", a burger bar!
Tomorrow, God willing, we will reach La Coruna the end of our epic walk. We continue to be amazed that we have made it this far and it is going to be difficult to know what to do with our days once the walk is over. Who knows - we may decide to start planning the next one!
No doubt when you read this you will have finished your wonderful adventure.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both, well done, what an achievement. So proud of you.
NOW WHAT ???? you will not know what to do, hang up your walking shoes, we don't think so. Well, maybe for a little while.
Enjoy the rest before the journey home. Speak soon. Love and hugs.
