... the hills had turned into a small water fall and the down hill sections into potential mud slides. Very difficult conditions for walking. It continued to pour with rain for the whole 7 hours that it took us to walk the 17 miles to St Pedro. The only highlight of the day was passing the halfway point of the Camino and the highest point of this section 1350 ft. We have now walked the equivalent of walking from Palm Coast to Charleston, all we have to do now is walk ...

Ladies Gagas
... with olive oil and spices drizzled on top. We dipped in with crispy bits of bread and we were all in heaven. After this bar, things turned a bit downhill for the evening.
We couldn’t find a place we all agreed on to eat at next so we literally wandered around in circles around the centre of the city for probably an hour looking at menus. The problem was, everything was either ham, or it was expensive. That wasn’t so much the downfall of our evening as was ...
