Visit to Vilar De Donas

After a coffee got on the road by 8.30am.  Walked in the mist,  it was quite eerie.  There were quite a lot of pilgrims also walking. More cows in doors for the winter,  Ian said hello to all of them!  Toast and coffee at Ventas De Naron.  A bus load of day walkers arrived, used the Camino stamp, as well as the toilets and left the premises.  These people would have started walking at Sarria,  and pilgrims who have  started in St Jean are asked to be tolerant of them; it is very hard.  Got to our albergue at noon.  Did 4.6kms to Vilar De Donas.  Origins go back to the 10th century, there were a lot of celtic crosses, it was very interesting.  It was the ancient seat of the knights of Santiago. Rested then off down the road to Internet and do blog.  Bumped into Barbara and Jeppe from Denmark who we hadn't seen since Ventosa, it was lovely to catch up.
