Every day starts the same

Including putting on the clothes I wore the day before. Sort of reminds me of a ski holiday where you just vary the layers depending on the wind and cold. 
Today we headed to the first bar and ordered bacon and eggs and coffee. A great start to a cold day. The temperature is freezing or slightly above until at least noon. Makes for some lovely photos. 
We all eagerly walked into Melide, 15km to enjoy the pulpo. It was fabulous and gave us a break of just over an hour. 
Live octopus just before cooking. 
Just about to drop it into boiling water and then we were served. 
We had some fun, but oh, the next 20 km were steep up and down. Nick and I gave the locals a few laughs as we came down the hills backwards. Andreu's blue jacket was a welcome sight as he led us the last .5km to the albergue arriving after 6pm. It's freezing here and the Hospitalero just drove Andreu to the bar to buy dinner (beer) for us. His wife is doing our laundry and we are feeling cold and pampered.
