Day 29 - 25k - Fonfria

The sky opened as we checked into the Municipal Albergue yesterday. We had thunder storms with hail for about 2 hours. The Albergue was very basic but it had a roof which was the main thing. Put on the rain gear and headed down to the village to look for a bite to eat. All the restaurants were closed as there was no power after the storm. We went up to the supermarket and bought a few pieces for an evening meal. The weighing scales ran on battery as backup which was a neat feature. Went back to the Albergue and had a meal with the other pilgrims which was very pleasant. Headed off at 6.30 am and walked 7 ks to Cafe del Mary where we had breakfast. Today was hard work but not as bad as I expected. The scenery in the mountains was great. We crossed over into Galicia this morning and had a snack in a small place playing great music. Things are looking up on that front. All the villages we went through seemed to have heaps of dogs, real dogs, not like those fluffy things you see in the cities. Made good progress today, no rain or storms. The place we are in has free Internet. We did a big laundry as there is great drying in that breeze. Things are going well, should be in Santiago this time next week.
