Welcome to the Camino where things rarely turn out as planned.
Had planned on a stop at Ventas do Naron. Turns out to be two albergues (very nice) and nothing else. When you arrive at where you plan to spend the night, it nice to have a town (or small village) to stroll through after a shower and rest. So, I´m in Palas de Rei.
Stopped in Ventas at one of the albergues for a beer, and had a very nice chat with a Danish couple. One of the great joys of the Camino is the people you meet from around the world. I´ve met people from all over Europe, of course. But also from Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, South Africa, and Iceland.
Anyway, we gat to talking and I mentionned that one of the things I was looking for was the eucalyptus trees that are so prevalent through Galicia. Turns out I´d already walked through an entire grove of them and didn´t even know it!
Plans for the rest of the trip have been revised again. What can I say, it´s an ongoing Camino hobby! I.m back to arriving in Santiago on Sept 28, again. Stay tuned for further developments:-)
