Cacabelos

I´m at the municipal and only albergue in cacabelos, arrived here at about 1.30pm after 23 km walk. Better from my hay fever, thank goodness! The walk was ok and quite beautiful, in the middle of lots of vineyards. Met the brazilians again on the way, without their packs! One of them (Rita) has caught up with her hubby and she´s going a little faster now (catching the bus at times) so she can arrive earlier and have some holidays with her husband in Portugal I think... this is kind of cheating, but again lots of people do it... i don´t, haven´t done it so far and don´t intend to unless i HAVE to for medical or other reason... anyway, to each their own... i also met the japanse girls Yumi and Sayo on the way, i keep meeting them it ´s quite funny... they are no longer surprised when they see me now... they tend to walk a bit faster and greater distances, so i usually see them the next day when i stop in the next town (where they usually sleep) for breakfast... cacabelos is ok, interesting, lots of pulperias (octopus restaurants)... the albergue is ok, the rooms are like little cubicles without windows with 2 beds, thank goodness i was with the brazilian girls so didn´t have to share a room with a complete stranger!... talking about the brazilians they went for something to eat... i don´t usually have lunch, just a snack on the way or when i arrive but then have 3 course dinner!... this afternoon we´re going to play cards, they need me to replace rita who went straight to vega de valcarce today... tonight brazil plays north korea at 20.30pm so it will be late night for me...
