24/5/13 Cea ➡ Castro Dozon 24km
Great walk today. We took the longer route so that we could visit a 17th Century Monastery in Osteria. It was amazing and the monk who took us around has lived there for 38years. He is a great artist and we saw some of his work hanging in the Monastery. We were not suppose to take photos but he said if he didn't see us take them then we could. He also gave us a small painting each that he had done.
It was so worth the extra kilometres today.
The way was lovey today with only a small amount of blacktop/ carretara walking and a couple of mountains to climb ! As I have said numerous times through this blog, whoever said this way was flat is crazy. I need to go back through the book and actually calculate how many meters I have climbed.
We came across some lovely locals going about their business and they allowed us to take photos. Always a treat. It was bitterly cold this morning before the monastery tour and inside the monastery but it soon warmed up and by the time we reached Castro Dozon it was callente.
We only have A couple of nights now in albergues as we have made a booking in Santiago. Last night was a shocker, with the lights not turning off, people up at midnight in the kitchen and lots of roncas (snoring) and we will have a chorus tonight as well, it has already started and it is only 9pm.
Oh well, the 4 Chicas have a booking tomorrow night in double rooms, so I guess another night with the chorus won't hurt.
Definitely need better ear plugs.
