Day 5 Muxia to finisterre

We didn't make it as far as finisterre as we were staying in CEE we took a detour courtesy of a kind donativo place and €50.

That was where it ended but the beginning was lots of fun too. The logging took our last ounce or 28 grams of strength and also €0.70 as the juice machine made us think we could get sustenance.

We started out in our apartment in Muxia fully aware there were few stops so we better go to the supermarket. 

Simon had gone the night before and with the exception of opening the flat door it was superb. 

We had milk for our cola cao and nothing to put in our sandwiches, except the bananas we ate at breakfast. Oh and some bags of his favourite mouth drying crisps 🤣

We made the usual Camino mistake and ignored our advice from the night before. There's bound to be somewhere.

Ah yes. Bound to be. That's when St Jacques laughs and doesn't provide!

We walked and took pictures. It's a stunning walk out along the shore and the road for about 2km.

We walk up past the parador on the hill.

We walk past the stadium and then it seemed, we walked up.

We walked up and up and up.

We continued to walk up and up and up.

Simon and Stu walked up and up and up.

I started lagging behind and taking pictures and eating my mints. On the plus side I got some lovely pictures but time was ticking along.

We got to the top of the hill after a few hours and arrived in the red herring town of Frixe an hour later.

We walked down past the pink house.

The we went to the hotel who said no coffee here and then back past the pink house.

Then we left to go to Lires.

We'd bumped into our new South Korean pals a bit earlier and I can't say how happy we all were to meet them again on Noia. Simon said they were on our bus from fisterra but as we joined at Cee we just sat down and never acknowledged them. We can be so ignorant, a great pilgrim trait.

We were past it when we arrived in Lires but found solace in the food and drink. No pictures as we were eating. Suddenly energy let us see the sea views.

When we left we had a good clip about us but as we were debating road or trail you sensed the worst.

Another stop saw us enjoying the shade.

Water was low and time was high. It was now 4pm and we had planned to taxi.

We were 8 km from Cee. We paid €50 and were happy to get to a restaurant in CEE.
