The forecast was for rain all day, but the clouds cleared early in the morning and we had a beautiful day to take a taxi from Vilalba to Baamonde. That cuts the first 20 kilometers off this very long stage..
Four days ago Marco called this alburgue and reserved a private room for two people. When we checked in they told us that we did not reserve a private room and that we would be sleeping in the big room with 30 other pilgrims. That is very unfortunate. We have been staying in private rooms once we left Santander and Marco’s snoring is bound to make it difficult for people to sleep in the big room. It should be an interesting evening. Marco got in a heated shouting match with the owner of the alburgue. Marco is not happy with this situation and the owner of the alburgue is very unhappy with us.
When we got to the big room with all the bunk beds Marco staked a claim to a lower bunk and so did I. The owner told me that I was required to sleep in the upper bunk above Marco. This makes no sense but I think the owner is mad at Marco and he is taking it out on me. So now I am in the top bunk. Like I said, it should be an interesting night.
Today we walked 20,000 steps, 15 kilometers and climbed the equivalent of 8 flights of stairs.
I hope you had a good day wherever you are. Good night from Miraz, Lugo, Galicia.
