Today we set off at 6.30am ish after a good nights rest. The walk today began with a hill. I did lose the others in front but I was happy keeping my slower and steady pace. The views from the tops were good and there were low cloud covering the bottom of the hilltops. The downhill part of the walk was quite sore for the knees but the terrain balanced between flat and the steep decents.
I finally found the other three girls at a cafe just outside of Sarria. After a nice sit down and a cold drink it wasnt too long a walk until we reached the centre of Sarria.
Sarria is the 100km mark in which people are required to walk to attain their certificate at Santiago so the amount of pilgrims is now bound to increase alot!
We found an albergue with 4 availiable beds after being turned away once which was a scary thought. We have our own room which looks out onto the church bell tower and the mountains behind. There is also a roof top patio just next to our room so all is quite lovely!
For dinner we will be eating at the albergue which offers a good looking pilgrims menu for €9.
5 walks to go....
