Our first day of rain in the whole trip. It started as a drizzle and luckily, by the time it came down in buckets we were already in Palais del Rais. We are still walking through forested area which helped distract us from the rain. We also had a chance to use our raingear for the first time in nearly a month. The taxis were busy running wet pilgrims down to town all morning.
Would you believe the Spaniards were getting ready to leave this morning before 5 a.m. this morning? Then, for some mysterious reason, there was no light in the kitchen so they ate their breakfast outside the sleeping area. They laughed, they sang, they woke up everyone.
Pailais del Rais is a really boring place that has absolutely no monuments of any note. We spent the afternoon snoozing on our bunks in the alburgue. We can happily report that we booked a hotel in Santiago for four days, beginning with our planned arrival on June 12th. As of today, just 66 kilometers to go to Santiago.
Tomorrow we go to the octopus capital of the Camino. Jim intends to consume a full tray of octopus ¨polpo¨ while Wendy will be several kilometers away to avoid the stench!
