Sobrado dos Monxes to Arzúa

Stage: 31

Walked: 29,1 km

Planned: 22 km

Steps: 37,583 

I started the journey very early - again. I left the monastery at 6:30 and tried to go for a bit of a workout-day. My pace was fast and consistent and that put me quickly at Boimorto in 2:10 where I had a coffee and a snack. Went back to the road and I swiftly cover the ground to reach Arzúa within two more hours. I walked alone today. Now relaxed, I had a beer and tortilla. Headed to the albergue where I met a Vietnamese lady on what seemed to be the very last days of her life - I only hope for the best for her. She shared that she was doing the Camino because it was in her bucket list and better to do it while she could. She could barely walk but she was stronger than any person I crossed paths with that day. I washed myself off and headed out for lunch. Went back to the albergue, did my laundry and laid in bed. It was a hot day (28 degC).
