Arzua to Rua – 20 kms

This morning we went down to breakfast and it smelled like a locker room. All the walkers from Sarria had not washed their clothes overnight. It stunk.

Good brekky though, fresh fruit, yoghurt, and heaps of other stuff. Oh, and of course there was cheese.

It was an easy 20km walk today. We started late and took it slow.

Not much to say. The people are still there. The wooded trails are still there.

We met a Chinese lady we saw in Astorga. I remember watching her walk and she looked so elegant. But she was carrying next to nothing. I assumed she was having her stuff transported, but she was carrying her towel and sleeping bag. It didn’t make sense.

Then we met her today, I told her we’d seen her in Astorga. She told us the airline had lost her bag on the way over and she’d had to buy new stuff. As a result, she decided she didn’t need a lot of stuff, and was travelling light. Super light.

Here she is, an inspiration for sure.

Only 21 kms to Santiago tomorrow. Yay.
