Ferrol to Pontdeume

Before the alarm even went off this morning at 5.00 I was already awake, having woken with a fit of the giggles.  Can a say start any better?

We were on the road by 5:30. Up before the sun. As we made our way out of Ferrol we followed the bay all the way round. It was beautiful in places but unfortunately as the tide wss out also very smelly in places too.

Before we knew it the time had flown and it was gone 9.00 and we were in Neda.  We found a quiet little cafe and stopped for coffee.

Up and down the hillsides we followed the yellow arrows snd shell signs.

Just before our destination of the day we psssed by a beach praia de Magdalena which looked beautiful,  but vring slightly tired by this point we didn't take advantage of its facilities. 

Coming into Pontdeume we had to cross an ancient bridge of 16+ arches. The town really captured me as we crossed the bridge, despite the fact that it had started to rain.  

Artivibg at the albergue we gound out it didn't open until 5 o'clock and it was onky jyst sfter one.

Finding a suitable bar we spent the afternoon hanging out with the locals. The girls filling up on voffee whilst I had a couple of beers.

We are now in the Albergue, which is very new and clean. Sadly it doesn't have a kitchen so ee are going to have to brave the wet Galician weather once more to find something for dinner.  I'm not holding out a lot of hope for a vegetarian option. .. could be tortilla or the such like again.  Ah well I know the camino will sustain me
