It has been extremely difficult to find accommodations because there are so many people walking the Caminos in August. We weren't able to book anything. So we just decided to book the same hotel we had booked for the following day in Lugo. We figured we would just walk as far as we could. Then take a taxi to Lugo, planning to return and finish the route the next morning. But we just kept on going and did both stages, which was about 54 kilometers. Our final mileage was 37.34 miles. It was well after 10pm when we finally arrived in Lugo. Even our hotel was on top of a very steep hill.
There are no words to describe the pain I am currently feeling in both feet. I don't have any blisters but they are agonizing!
It was a really lovely walk for the first 20 miles through rolling hills and mysterious forests. We passed through many little villages and enjoyed visiting with many of the new friends we have found along the way. But the last couple of hours were along a busy highway and we were very happy to finally reach our destination. 37 miles was a little too much for one day!
