just to you know we are in Triacstela after a very clold misty daty - we are now officially in Galicia....have not been able to get internet access for several days and since last posting a blog have done some very big days one day over 38km...there is a bit of a glitch in the camino track.... not sure where we were when I last blogged but the first signs that things are getting busier was as we walked into the village we had planned to stop at to find all the alburgues were full - it turned out that a bunch of german school children were dropped of - they are only doing about 15km a day so conseqently managed to get all the beds - this then shunted the rest of the travellers to the next village another 4 km away so off we walked - only to find the 'completo' signs come out as we walked by - this meant no room at the inn so to speak.... by this stage it was late and I was getting quite tired not wanting to walk on in case the next village was just as full - so we looked about for alternate accomadation - which we found in the form of a pension - an older woman with her even older mother in their own home so for us that was settled - Jeremy and Torsten were still behind - Blair went down to the track and waited for Jeremy but had missed Torsten by a few minutes - we found out the next day he had slept in the forest.... the next day our plans went to custard was after walking already 30 km to Cacabelos we found the alburgue was closed due to rennovations... next alburgue was 8 kms away - the town seemed to be setting up for a wine and food festival so every other bed in town was full - so there was nothing to do but walk another 8km to Villafranca - yay we had a bed - and the best thing about this little bottle neck was we managed to meet up with about 9 of our original `family´members.... This alburgue in Villafranca (pictured) reminded me a bit of a treehouse with all its twists and turns - seved us the yummiest of vegetable soups.
