Last night was a good nights sleep finally! And a good job too as we woke up at 4.30am to begin our long 31km walk to Cee.
As it was so early we begun in the pitch black and used our head torches until the sun started to appear at 6ish. The walk was again fairly hilly but not too bad. There were no cages or towns between Olveiroa (where we ate breakfast) and Cee as it is all through rolling hills with quite steep valleys so there was a lot of up and down! And we had no more rest stops!
The best part of this walk was the last 2 or 3k when the sea appears below the hills just in the distance. Despite the very steep downhill climb the sight of the sea is a great feeling! It signifies not only the end of a very long walk but the realization that you have walked all the way from France, through Spain and then to the coast! Tomorrow we shall just have 16km to go to the lighthouse where the official end of the camino is!
Cee is a lovely town with its own little beach and a harbor. Our albergue (albergue Finisterra) has bunks which look out onto the sea, you can hear the waves hitting the boats in the harbor. Myself and CJ then went and had a quick paddle in the sea and picked up a couple of shells. We then went back to 'collect' the others to go and get some dinner. We also had a quick mosey around the shops. I was naughty and bought a really nice notebook which looks like an old style leather bound book.
