Breakfast was a traditional affair again, but it was a self help kind. Soon we were off,back the way we came yesterday, and the kilometer back to the way of St James, a distance we completed in about 20 minutes, on average within our regular time per kilometer but it seemed double quick time compared to when we were tired, yesterday afternoon.
We reached Melide around midday, and stopped for the famous meal of octopus (pulpo) and wine.
After lunch we hit the road again, but it was notably more difficult to get into the zone, probably as a result of the lethargia caused by the big lunch or the wine, possibly both.
We reach Boente just after 14h00, and checked in at a new and modern alberge. After the required shower and fixing our beds, we did some desperately needed laundry, another complication caused by the marathon session the previous day, as we were now both out of clean clothes to wear.
After the necessary chores and spending time watching the cloths dry in the hot spanish afternoon sun, we walked up the hill for a sundowner of the local "vino"
Then down hill again for our pilgrims meal while our half dried clothes got heated up and dried by a tumble drier as the sun drier was now fading into night and ultimately ineffectiveness.
After dinner we were off to bed and sleep did not take long to overwhelm us.
