19 - 30°C — Hazy and hot
By Laurel
At 5:30 am, the temperature was already 19 degrees. We walked. The sun rose and by 9:00, it was set on broil. The sweat poured from every pore. We kept plodding. Pilgrims often say, “The Camino provides!” Well, today, thank goodness, it provided mostly shaded paths through the woods and wonderful scenery — which compensated somewhat for the heat. We were happy to reach the village of Lestedo at about noon and stopped at a bar for cold drinks and then a coffee shop for a light lunch. Rejigging our range for the final three stages has improved our distances but also meant that we have only one option for accommodation tonight at Lestedo — it’s at a Bed and Breakfast, Casa de Casal, in a beautiful old stone country house with a gorgeous yard and swimming pool. Tomorrow — Santiago de Compostela!
Oh gosh. You’re almost there! Slow down! I don’t know what we will do without our daily Kreuger Camino fix…
ReplyDeleteI agree Lea, I read it every morning with my coffee. It is VERY hot and humid here right now (feels like 27 at 6:00 am). I can't get Oscar to walk more than a kilometre. Good on the two of you! Can't wait to see the two of you in a couple of weeks.
