I slept fantastic and I am confident that it will work out today. After a good breakfast I leave the albergue at half past seven. Against my principle, in the dark. From Figueras, I walk to the long bridge over the Ria de Ribadeo. From the bridge I have a nice view on the lights of Ribadeo and its harbor. With the crossing of the Ria, I enter Galicia from Asturias.
Once I leave Ribadeo, I can immediately start climbing. I have a good pace and the steepness of the climb is not too bad. I walk alternately between meadows and through eucalyptus forest.
After more than two hours of walking I have my coffee break, just past O Vilar. It's going really well today. The sun is shining but a refreshing breeze makes sure it doesn't get too hot. The views are getting more and more beautiful and I am happy to walk in the mountains again.
I am tired, but all in all it was not so bad today. Along the way, I again met several pilgrims I already kno, but each walks at his own pace. One pilgrim tells me that she has brought the sponsorship campaign for rare chromosome 6 disorders to the attention of her family and friends. So sweet. I hope many more will do that.
Hasta manana,
Conny
