13 August - reasons to travel light!

Well I didn't sleep at all well last night. I had stomach ache, someone snored loads, and my money felt down the side of the bed in the night. So I felt rough this morning
But once I was out of the door I was very happy.
The hospidalero was brilliant and gave detailed diagram explaining how to get out of Ourense and which of the 2 routes was shorter. I really needed this in the dark as there weren't many arrows. After about an hour the road just went uphill at a 45 degree angle for about an hour. I felt every kg I carried on my knees and was so glad I didn't have the German girl's 13 kg each.
I was delighted to get to Castro de Neuro at sunrise when the road levelled out and walking became easy.
