Camino de Santiago - Day 9

Rodeiro to A Laxe - 19.5 miles

Another early start but I had an amazing 20C today. After a bit of road walking I changed to a dirt road, then a forest walk, then a stream walk which morphed into a seriously deep mud walk (bless the person who invented gaiters) and back to a normal hill/forest walk. It definitely kept things interesting. My favourite spot today was Eirexa with a lovely church and a nice fountain, great for a rest stop. I was conscious of the rain forecast at 4 pm but I didn't let it stop me from enjoying. I took my sweet time to enjoy the moment and to take a few hundred pictures, as always. The cute little hamlets, the colourful fields and the lovely backdrop made the long walk very enjoyable. My destination today was a SPA hotel, YEAY, I really couldn't resist the pool and the sauna. I guess I needed a bit of pampering and the biggest pizza I could find. My feet were still my main worry, they were throbbing like African drums but otherwise, I was ready to rock the longest stretch of the journey tomorrow.
