Camino Finisterre, Day 2(34) - More than half way through...
Today we (Rebekka and I) expected another challenging walk.
Because there was not too many Albergues on the Finistera journey we had to plan our stay either in Olveiroa which would be quite silly because that was something like 12 km away or in Cee / Corcubion in about 35 km. We decided to see how it goes, and for the first 15 km of the journey it was going great. Exceptional views, lovely pathwalks, much different than other landscapes from Camino de Santiago.
We arrived in Ponte Olveira (just before Olveiroa) and had an exceptional breakfast, and that gave us a god speed for walking but as the day went by we were getting more and more tired. So when we arrived in Cee we were ready to stop walking. There was maybe enough energy to walk another 3-5 km to another Albergue (after walking already 35), but we decided to chance a place in a Civil Defence base in Cee. To our surprise the Civil Defence Albergue was free and it wasn´t as bad as the one last day. It had beds and a reasonably well mantained showers and even that it was placed in a basement didn´t bother us.
So we stayed.
After a refreshing shower we tried to find a place to wash our clothes, something like a self service laundrette. No luck...
We walked on the beach and sat dow for a beer and relaxed. Walking on the beach I knited an expression: I´m in Cee and I can see the sea, unfortunatelly it doesn´t sound that good if you pronounce Cee as Ke, or Tze.
It was time for dinner and we located a pizza place, because we didn´t wanted to walk and search for the restaurant we just stayed there and ordered two different big pizzas to share. We were so hungry that we didn´t mind that the musroom were not fresh just tinned, that the dough wasn´t crispy enough... We ate so much and weren´t able to finnish it ... Paide and went back to Albergue, the next day we could sleep longer and also it was only 12 km left to The End of the World (as we know it)...
