The hardest day of the whole trip. Scrambled up the mountain path. Beautiful but … Thank goodness it was not raining or hot. Have not seen the sun for days.
Pedro (Brazil) and Pepe (Spanish) made supper at the albergue, joined by Mary (Irish) and Dutch people.

Had coffee at a bar with its own trout fishing facility. Then up and up the mountain.

The Dutch family was behind
Made the top of the mountain. Walked up the huge rock to look at the view but it was cloudy.
Up and up in the mud
The arrow showing where to go is always visible on the Camino and in life. One must just look up to see it.
This gang had been together for 2 days. Last time we were together. All arrived safely.
Making a communal dinner, very social
