Day 5 - Tuesday 11th May 2010

So who exactly does he think is going to molest HIM??!

He's homing in on his goal!

Not so much a room for tonight but an apartment!! Living room, kitchen, bathroom, TWO bedrooms!! He may not want to move on from here!!

A shop full of string and thread! This is heaven to someone like him!!

Tough day today, left Ponferrado at 7:45 with most of my breakfast from my hotel in my bag, the bread rolls came in plastic bags so I made them into cheese and ham rolls and put them back into their bags for later. Today's riding consisted of 7hours uphill 2hours flat and 1 hour down, I covered as much ground down hill as I did uphill! Heading for Lugo meant that for some time I would be off the Pilgrims Route, no problem, except though I kept being stopped by people telling me I was going the wrong way! They meant well. Every time I hit down hill there was something to spoil it, yesterday was sheep, today was rain! 25mph in the rain hurts! "Lugo" must mean in Spanish "town at the top of a big hill where my hotel is" Worst hill of the day! Got there for 5:30 Ready for the finish tomorrow.
