Day 9 - Melida to Arzua- 24 May

So far Michael and I are the only ones who have survived without blisters but I haven't started walking yet today and my shins and calves are suffering so I don't feel like a winner.

Beautiful shaded tracks today. Uphill and down dale is not sufficiently daunting to describe today's track.

Thankfully there are a lot of cafes along the way to enjoy an aqua con gas or ice cream.
We had morning tea at Parada Taberna in Cassanova - we would not recommend it.  The owner was having a running dispute with the neighbouring cafe and was very rude when one of us bought espresso coffee (which he didn't sell) in the other cafe.

One of the great things about the Camino so far has been the warm welcome we have received no matter if you just sit and rest without a drink.  Some bar owners like you to buy something to use the rest rooms but that is understandable.

It was 32* this afternoon when we were having our lunch/dinner at 4pm.

Finally think I've worked out how to upload photos (have to put them into google photos first because google wants to ensure its monopoly!) but it is nowhere near as seemless as when i could upload from the phone so it will take a while to update previous days. I think i will have to find a new blog host for next time. 😞
