Hotel Oca Villa De Sarria

... to enjoy the towns more. Last night we stayed in Sarria - a bigger town and Mary and i did some shopping which was fun - didn´t buy anything heavy though. Sara and Carl are out to buy some groceries to make supper tonight as there is a fairly well equipped kitchen to cook in. - Thoughts from Shirley.<br>Mary wants to tell you - I'm trying to hold on to every moment of this surreal experince with ...

Hi All,<br><br>Mary may be posting later once she gathers her thoughts. Carl and i thought we would upload some pics for you if e can. we walked 19km today and it was straight up a hill. wow. some hard times, but we were happy. unfortunately, when we got to the top of the mountain (o cebreio) there ...

I went with Stee and my grandmother to Lugo, a town about 50 miles from A Corun&#771;a. The old town of Lugo is surrounded by a Roman wall. Within the walled part of the town are narrow streets and old buildings. <br><br>In the late afternoon we returned to A Corun&#771;a and departed for Vigo early in the evening.

... PA, plus a college student from PA at the alburgue in Villafranca. Nice to meet Americans!<br> <br>Day 26 - Wednesday, July 15 Villafranca del Bierzo - LaFaba 25 km<br> <br>Followed the route up the mounain (other route was near the highway). Climb was not too strenuous and views were great. No choice but to walk final 13 km along the highway - glad to finish. Last part of walk was up ...

... did not have to worry about finding a place to stay which is becoming a problem for some people. At the end of the day we saw a man in his fifties (walking with his daughter) almost break down and cry when he arrived to find that the small albergue in Eirexe was full.<br><br>Without the crowds the walking is good. We are looking forward to reaching Santiago but sad that the journey will be over.

... in walkers.<br><br>Our walk today took us down (up to go down and down to go up). While steep in some places it was, while not easy, not as bad was we had been led to believe.<br><br>There are the remains of an old castle (most of it was destroyed during a peasant revolt), some ancient churches and a lovely old monastery. We will be going down to the river shortly to have supper with some Camino friends if we can find them.

... lot to us so we wouldn't have wanted to stay there anyway. So, we had no option but to stay in the Albergue which happened to be a monastery. By the time we got there, the main part was full but there was an upstairs part available. This turned out to be very interesting. The only problem was that we were only allowed to go upstairs, en masse, at 10pm. We showered, stashed the bikes and luggage we didn't need then went to find somewhere shady to cook our dinner. We went to the ...

7th August 2008 Villa Martin A day of rest A lovely lie in this morning, didn't get up till 0930. Luckily we're camped under trees, so the sun doesn't penetrate till quite late on. Having done all my washing (just about everything I own was dirty) we had breakfast (melon) and then cycled off into a nearby town to do some shopping. Today, we decided, we were going ...

The walls in this Casa are so thin that we heard Lynne, who was two rooms away, say "If anyone has sex, we're all having a cigarette!" We met in the breakfast room at 8:30 for a continental-type breakfast and started hiking at 9:15. This was the toughest leg of the Camino - 8 km uphill (sort of like doing the Grouse Grind two and a half times) to the tiny village of O'Cebreiro. However, the absolutely incredible scenery more than made up for the uphill ...
