Another big surge of people on the trail today - all of them new to us. With the exception of one busy road, we walked quiet country roads and forest tracks. We enjoyed it, particularly as the distance was so much shorter than yesterday. We are now settled in the Aloxa Albergue, a clean, modern facility. It is a little bit out of town, but we have plenty of time to walk in later.

There were a couple of things about yesterday's walk. You'll remember that the new route took us west of Porrino. In doing so it was a little longer - we didn't mind that so much but it was the absence of any cafe for a break and walking fuel that was the real problem. It was a 16km stretch. When we arrived in Porrino we quickly found a cafe and got talking to a couple we had seen on the trail. They were Portuguese, but she had particularly good English - it transpired that they both live in Dublin - small world.

The rain is long gone at this stage and today seems to be in the low to mid 20s. However, there has been an overall change in that it is noticeably colder both in the early morning and the evening. Our big hope is that it will stay dry.
