We woke up at 6 and prepared ourselves for rain - pack covers, ponchos, cagoules, and in Dasa's case a big plastic bag which covered her pack quite effectively. It started raining then stopped then started and it was like that all day. The trail was in a good condition though so it was fine to walk even in the rain. We stopped for 2nd breakfast at a lovely old farmhouse Casa Domingo and we made excellent time. We got to the outskirts of Melide by 11.50 and stopped for olives and a local cheese Ulloa and a sip of beer.
Refreshed we continued into the centre of Melide, got beds at the Albergue Crucerio and now we have had showers and are about to go out to eat.
We went to a local restaurant and had enormous salads, Dasa had a burger the size of her head, and we sat surrounded by Spanish families enjoying lunch out together. The waitress would call out - quieten down, I need to hear the order!
Later we had a walk around the town, visited the local museum, had a look at a motorbike festival, bought some wine, cheese and olives and returned to enjoy them in the social area in the albergue.
