Melide to Salceda

We put in 25 kilometers/15 miles today.  Arrived at our awesome Albergue at 4:30, long day but this place is soooo worth it.  Triple room, private bath, nice, nice.

Sandra , Canadian, and Fran, Boston, are also here.  We met Fran way back in Puenta la Reina.

Dinner last night was fun, ended up next door to our albergue - ordered drinks, sandwiches and dessert..

Our albergue was, how shall I put it, "What ta dump!" The 3 of us in a 4 person room.  Showers were okay but the rest of the place left something to be desired.

It was one of those - what do you mean we're staying here

 

Today was a great trail, stream crossing

Beautiful flowers 

First breakfast - Janet's chocolate croissant has become a staple

Sue's grande cafe con leche

 

Mare and Sue gobbled up their eggs and bacon before picture.

Great dinner with Mark, Switzerland, Sandra, Canada, Fran, Boston, 3 others, and us.

We are enjoying our fantastic room, sleeping in tomorrow, breakfast goes till 9:00, and best of all: we have a short day planned for tomorrow.
