Now in Bruma

Yesterday we walked from Pontdeume to Betanzos much of the time in the rain as already reported. 

Despite the rain I really enjoyed it.  There were a few hills but nowt too worrying.  We almost took a wrong turn just outside Mino but a kindly driver who was passing stopped to put us back on  the right track. 

Last night we stayed in the albergue in Betanzos which only opened in May.  It is excellent.  The kitchen is still awaiting the full complement of necessary items but otherwise it really is the best.

This morning we left at 6:30 expecting a long and difficult day.  It has been long - about 9 hours on the road but not as difficult as the guidebook lead us to believe.  There was one particularly long steep hill to climb,  but getting to the top I felt energised and invigorated. 

We are now in the albergue at Bruma and it's started to rain again.  Luckily it stayed fine whilst we were on the way yet cool enough for it to be pleasant walking weather. 

This albergue isnt the same as last night's bug still very comfortable and we've got the heating on to keep us warm.  The hospitaleros are very friendly and helpful and are ordering our dinner from a local restaurant for delivery at 8:00. Of course there was the usual veggie problem but I think I'm sorted.

The signal here is poor so I'm hoping that this will upload ok. If not you'll not be reading it anyway.
