Sunrise and heat

It was again dark when I started on my way this morning. After leaving Negreira there was an alternate path through the forest and off the road. Even though it was hard to see I thought it would be nicer to be off the concrete and next to the river. When I finally emerged from the forest I was treated to a stunning sunrise. There had been some light rain overnight and their were a few clouds remaining to decorate the sky.

It wasn’t long before it started getting hot. Really hot, Aussie summer style. After second breakfast the waking got tough and there was little shade to escape the sun. I’m glad I chose split today’s stage and break this final journey into for rather than three parts.

I’ve arrived in Santa Marina, a tiny hamlet where I’ll spend the night. It will be much cooler tomorrow but I’ll only walk 15km. I’ll be able to have a sleep in and a shorter day before my final push to the end.
