Day 25 A Farm Stay Day

Samos to Casa Nova de Rente 19km

Easy coffee with bob at Samos and away in the morning light.
We followed the Camino through undulating countryside alonside a beautiful stream. The scenery was magic.
At one stage we had a gathering of pilgrims at a road junction all talking in their own dialect and debating the right way. Eventually a united nations approach found a consensus.
We soon reached a major town Sarria and after lunch at a bar with bob we said farewell as he was pushing on.
He ahs been on the Camino 5 weeks and wants to finish as soon as possible and he is hinting at rain ahead which seems to be right.
We reached an Albergue about 2pm and there was a sudden rush of pilgrims. I phoned ahead to a rural casa and they had room so we headed off.
The two West Australian Girls told us they had a terrible night there and even had to move their mattress downstairs...communal living gets a bit intolerant at this time of the trip.

We found a delightful rural farm stay and settled in with a late meal that night
