Camino Trail in A Baña region

The trail goes from terrain as you see in this photo, to lane ways through the many hamlets, occasionally alongside the busy highways, and often on narrow country roads. Today there was a lot of heat in the sun so the preference was the shady dirt trails.

The 330 km distance we covered today was done with hardly any whimpering or...wait, did I say 330? The paperwork said 33 but seriously, it was like we had been plunked down into the middle of an episode of the Twilight Zone. Every time we thought we were getting close we would get some new information that indicated that we were not close at all. Some of the walking notes provided by the tour company were in direct competition with reality...the guy who called in the kms for landmarks must have been smoking something other than Marlboroughs. Fortunately Lisa was navigating through the iffy areas and always managed to keep us going in the right direction. The scenery today was beautiful, miles and miles of cornfields, lots of windmills, and domestic animals of all kinds. Plus one fox and one salamander. The hamlets are fun to walk through with the ancient stone structures mingling with modern homes, lots of flowers, sculpted hedges, interesting trees, and pleasant greetings from the residents and chickens. Our home for the night is very comfortable and full of character; it is a stone guest house. Tomorrow our tired legs and feet will take us another 19 kms to Cee (pronounced "Thay") where we stay for 2 nights. I am encouraged by your words about it getting easier after 3 days Paula! Good news - no blisters!
