Camino Portuguese Coastal Day 9: Caldas de Reis - Cruces
I left my albergue later than usual, expecting morning rain, but it turned out to be false! The sun was out for a few hours before some light rain, then sunshine again. However, the last 3km to my accommodation was tough—a downpour started, and the last town I passed through was flooded. With no way around, I had to walk through it, soaking my shoes after keeping them dry all day.
I arrived earlier than expected, but since it was self-check-in, everything went smoothly with my emailed room and bed info. The albergue even had a pool, though it was too cold for a swim. I hung up my poncho, set my shoes out to dry, showered, and relaxed in the living room before calling it a night.
Tomorrow, I’ll arrive back in Santiago de Compostela. Even though it won’t be my first time, I’m still excited and looking forward to it!
