Riding Hills

This morning’s climb from the hotel was only a couple of hundred feet. The landscape is much flatter now with hills in the distance not mountains. With breakfast starting at 10 we had a late start. Today’s mileage was short. At one point Google maps had us turn onto a smaller country road that literally ran through a gentleman’s farm driveway, turning into double track before coming out on the paved road 200 feet later. We got to see the farm dog, cats and cows and a very confused farmer dressed all in black writhing a little black cap on his head. This is not the first time we’ve had an interesting route or no road or a fence or wall blocking the suggested route to take.

They seem to bury their dead in crypts stacked several high.

The road between the farm buildings that turn into double track.

Lake on Camino road route. The other option was quite narrow, with rocks, and roots. We took it first and quickly realized it was mot for us.

Tree lined Camino route with small farms here and there along the way.

Road turning to gravel. Bob double checking we’re going the correct way.

Not sure what this building is. They seem to be on every farm.

We ran into the same British couple we met a couple of days ago at a cafe on the way to our hotel. They hope to arrive in Santiago on Thursday and then catch their ferry home.
For the next two nights we are staying at a farm hotel. Hope to do some laundry. After that just two more days of riding.

Today's ride: 17 miles (27 km)
Total: 77 miles (124 km)
