Portuguese Camino June 2013: 15 June 2013 - O Pino to Teo

Left the awful hotel of Mosteiro at O Pino and slowly walked on. All alone, one person passed me. As I walked into Padron I saw tents where they either sold or auctioned or ate pulpo (octopus). Then saw a long building which was the market. Wandered through and bought cake. I then saw kids from Assisi (Italy) – they had taken a taxi as one of the girls had a bad foot. Joined Alexander and family for rolls. Then I walked on to Teo. They got to the albergue just as I arrived.

Then had a shower and fixed the flooded bathroom. Met Petra in the shower, then we went to a bar for food. Two Cavalier King Charles spaniels arrived with their owner. Met my first snorer in an albergue but no worse than Gizmo.

In the albergue they pushed us in – never been so close to other people. All pilgrims must put their sleeping bags on their beds to book it, or else they have no claim to it. Petra had had trouble at the albergue and had moved to another one.

Had dinner with Alexander and his family from Assisi.

Lunch in Padron
