Mon 3 Oct - Fairly standard camino night last night with a COP start. Great hike today with wonderfull scenery. Completed 31kms in 7.25 hours and this included a 400m accent in the first 10kms and then back down 350m ready for another 700m accent to our destination of O Cebreiro. Had two short breaks on the way for breakfast and a beer (well a cervaza with lemon really,which is very refreshing) and it was a tough walk but very enjoyable and I doubt that either of us would have been able to still breath at the end if we had tried it 3 weeks ago. Thought on the way how interesting it would have been if someone had a record of what peregrinos looked like and how they dressed through the ages - now its all lycra, cotton, goretex and metal walking poles. It would also seem that Ian has a stalker as he has now ' miss laid' two pairs of pants! About ready for tonights meal and hopefully it will inc the local speciality of O Cebreiro cheese and honey. Checked into the municipal AdP at first for 5 euros pp, but with more than 100 beds in two rooms - all bunk beds and all head to head with some side to side as well it was not attractive. Then a man came into the room that C and S both recognized from their previous night as a very lound and continuious snorer! So Ian promptly went looking and found a good two bed private room for 15 euros pp so we moved! Feeling lucky, so we have just booked our flights back for 14 Oct should allow us to walk to Finisterre as hoped.
