Our Camino, Stage 14. Palas De Rei to Melide, July 23 2013.

Only a short hop today.  16km to Melide.

To be honest I did not feel real flash today.  I walked under sufferance, complained about everything and couldn't be bothered taking too many photos.  I don't recall the walk as being particularly eventful or insightful, more of the same drudgery.

Get up aching.

Get bread for breakfast.

Walk for an hour.

Have a drink of water.

Walk for another hour.

Have a break at a cafe.

Walk for an hour.

Have another break.

Walk more.

Get to accommodation, check in.

Have a shower.

Do your washing in the sink, bathtub if you have one.

Hang out wet washing.

Find beer.  Drink it.  Have dinner.

Go to bed.
Take photo of interesting statue.

Take photo of stone cross.

Take photo of St James Cross.

We got shunted to some mediocre hotel off the Camino, had a beer in a dreary bar that made you want to give up drinking, discovered Europe's smallest lift, it was so small you had to send it back down to fetch your body odour, lucky because we generally stink.

Slept in a lumpy bed, got up to a breakfast that I don't recall and were thankful to get the dickens out of there.

Not every day on the Camino is a life-changing experience.  This one was nothing special.

Buen Camino Peregrinos
