2015-10-20: Caminando Laxe - Puente Ulla (36/466 km)

A day tat not started well. I got lost for a while since I took the wrong turn in the dark. It was probably due to that I had mixed up the directions already yesterday when I went to have dinner. It seems that have you once navigated wrong that get suck in your memory. Hmmm....
Well I found my way and got right after some ten minutes. Had my breakfast at the same place as yesterday.
The day continued through a hilly landscape with a lot of small villages.I wonder what will happen with those in a few years time. The landscape in Galicia is here very green with a lot of forests. Not least with a lot of chestnuts trees. So there were often fallen chestnuts all over the road.





Met the Frenchman that had walked the Camino Invierno, a couple of times. The Camino de Invierno (Winter way) is much little walked. I was an alternative way starting in Puente Ferrada when O Cebreio at Camino Frances had snow. Then you walked south through the Galician hills and mountains until you met the Camino Sanabrés at Laxe. No albergues yet but well marked according to the Frenchman.
Finally down the hills in serpentines at Puente Ulla. All roads and railways have bridges here. There are only private albergues here no public. I found my and got a room at a reasonable price.

I had dinner downstairs with the Frenchman and three French ladies, also of a mature age. One spoke English. They had walked from Seville at the beginning of September. But I began to understand that he one that spoke English had difficulties when she for the third time asked me where I had started and didn't remember that she had asked me before. Life is sometimes not easy
