Day 7 - Walking ...Fun ?

Alarm goes off at 4.30 I'm out the door by 5am, I have a 235m climb and descent of  Monte Cornedo, but it will be a long day today as at next stop is 32.6km, over 20 miles.

Bizarrely I enjoy the day, I have a picnic breakfast at Orbenille overlooking the charming Porrino industrial district.

I have a coffee in Porrino city centre. The climb was tough, but I think I have the stamina again, so I plod on. I am far from the fastest pilgrim but I am relentless.

I meet another pilgrim as we both enter the city centre of Redondela, nice lad Tom from Germany, there is also a group of 4 German lads I've keep meeting but the English is not so good.

I chatted the Mary of the Irish crowd they buggered up their days by staying too long in Porto so they will skip a head by bus to catch up with their schedule, this will mean they can't get the plenary indulgence, as you have to walk the last 100km to Santiago. I don't think there hearts were in it anyway.
