29 Sept. 2019, day 56: Vilalba - Baamonde, 19 km (1103 km)


Today I pass the waymark 100.99 km.  So I probably end up at just over 1200km.  I expect to arrive in Santiago on Friday, october 4th.
 Because it was a short distance today, I walked a lot with other pilgrims.  No rush and we talked a lot.  This morning I first had breakfast with Christina at a bar.  Soon we came across US Peter (there is also an Aussie Peter) and a little later Edith with her husband.  The route is again beautifully rural.  We walk a bit on an old road.

  It is now raining and it will continue to do so for the rest of the route.
 Because we talk a lot, we walk wrong.  The others decide to walk on and pick up the route further on, but that means quite a bit of walking along the road.  I walk back 300 meters (down), find the right path and climb up again.  It is a nice path across a number of farm yards.

 After a while I first meet Peter and later Christina and the others.  We take a break in a kind of bus shelter.
 The 100.99 km point is at the entrance of Baamonde.

 Due to the rain we quickly reach the vey large albergue of Baamonde (94 beds).  I can still get a lower bed in an 8-person room.  Better than the mega dormitory upstairs.

 Shame about the weather.  It is unpleasant to sit outside and a hand wash will not dry.  Hopefully better tomorrow.
