On to Finisterre Day 2. Such a long hard day 30 May

33.5km. Wow. Knew it was going to be tough when the first 11km took us over 3 hours to do. Still had two thirds of the journey to go. Unlike the camino to Santiago, marking is haphazard, and difficult to follow.

This morning we had followed the markings to a T intersection in a village. We were standing in the road, wondering which way to go, when there was a tapping on the window in front of us. I looked up and saw a woman pointing to our left. So funny. They must live with this camino intrusion in their lives everyday.

As we sit in the bar at the Albergue I can see the agony in the faces of others as they 'walk' around. I feel the same way today. I had been feeling quite smug about no leg muscle pain for the whole trip. Today I can't be so sure. Feet are very sore ( no blisters, yet) but what else aches, I can't be sure. Need to get that mental toughness back. Tomorrow!

We had been thinking of going from here to Muxia, then down to Finisterre. But that would mean following this hard walk with another 30+ day. May not be such a good idea. Change of plans could be on the cards.
Met some friends here from previous stages. All found it difficult, but some arrived almost 3 hrs before us!

Notes to self.

• 33.5 km is a tough day  Negreira to Olveiroa
• Albergue 12€ Casa Loncho. Very good showers. Not push button water. Yeah.
