Swimming at Muxia

This is the view from my room at the hotel at Muxia, and this is where I went swimming before the tide came in so far!
The water was coolish to start with but rather nice when you got used to it: I stayed in for about 30 minutes without getting too cold, and it was really refreshing, and doubtless excellent for the feet!
I bumped into Zousa and his cycling cohort earlier. They must have done the Vilaserio to Finisterra leg in one go, about 50 k I reckon,and quite a walk! It is quite strange how two walkers and 1 cyclist have stuck together every night in the same place for about 3 weeks. No wonder the cyclist always looks so fresh...
Zousa was quite irrepressible and still going on about swimming and bikinis. I don't know whether he is trying to tease me or whether he,really is a male chauvinist pig! Anyway it is his last night on the Camino and I hope he has a great time after his epic journey from St Jean Piet de Port!
I, on the other hand, am going to have an early night and make up for 2 nights' lost sleep.
I had a great lunch in town for 9 Euros. 3 courses, a drink and coffee are part of the deal. I had caldo gallego, followed by fish (a whole mackerel and a few potatoes), but gave the pudding a miss. I can never like flan unless I am starving! So I won't need any supper tonight, that's for sure.
