[QUOTE="sun is shining, post: 1245621, member: 11129"] [B]Day 5: A Rua - Quiroga [/B] Ok, so I’m not great with the heat and sun and getting up early is no issue for me. Today we did exaggerate though. Having our own room allowed us to start out as early as we wanted so we were on the road by 5am (I know, we are crazy). Joaquin had left us breakfast (coffee, hot water, sweets and bocadillos to take with us), so with that we left for the uphill walk to Albaredos - which looked pretty bad in the stage profile but turned out much easier than expected. That meant that we arrived in Albaredo not with sunrise - as planned - but in the pitch black. Let me tell you - that forest with all the artwork is a special kind of creepy in the dark. Made for an interesting walk to the pilgrim refuel station though. Today was made special by two things: the pilgrim refuel station and the Casemiro’s Ecoloxico station. The fruit, drinks, and nuts - plus the Joaquin’s bocadillos made for a fantastic breakfast later on. With today’s perfect hiking weather - cloudy but not freezing - we had one of the loveliest days on the Camino yet. So many wildflowers! Nature-wise the Camino de Invierno is a dream. There’s a riot of colours that keep changing behind every turn - from red poppies to these amazing white flowered-shrubs that cover the mountainside to lush green ferns. All of that mixed with fantastic vistas of the Sil. The day passed fast and easy, despite the warnings how strenuous this stage was. Maybe our bodies are finally getting used to the constant ups and downs. As a treat we decided against the albergue and for another private room. I always feel slightly guilty when I do that but Max still needs to get used to the Camino and sharing dorms. So hotel it was for the night - which turned out to be a great choice. Hotel Quiper was a dream! They put us into a huge suit on the second floor with fancy furniture and chandeliers - not exactly the kind of accommodation we thought we’d be having during the Camino 😅 A word of caution: lots of restaurants / bars are closed on Monday. So don’t be like us and expect to find anywhere cooking delicious Galician food after a long hike. Luckily the Dia was open - luckily a snack food dinner on our balcony hit the spot just fine. [B]Total km:[/B] 26 [B]Accommodation:[/B] Hotel Quiper [B]Cost & Access:[/B] 36€ for a double room. We didn’t book (I forgot the day before) but just walked in and they gave us a room no problem. [B]Total spend:[/B] 62€ (that includes provisions for tomorrow and some money we left at the two refill stations) [/QUOTE]
