It wasn\u2019t the terrain, it was the distance\u2026a little over 18 miles. On day 33, we left Palas de Rei around 7 am and got to the midway town of Melide around 11 am.  There was a highly Google recommended restaurant called Casa Alongos in Melide that didn\u2019t open until 11:30 and since the Camino is all about eating and drinking, we decided to head to a local tourist trap to order drinks to wait it out the 30 minutes.  One of the best decisions we made since Casa Alongos made some of the best scratch food we had on the Camino. Almost everything had the Galician stew, which was exceptional. I had the Hamburger which was also great\u2026the 2nd best I\u2019ve had on the walk (the best was in Pamplona). <\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day was a mental and physical challenge to get to the town of Arzua. We finally made it to our apartment, I headed out to rage local church to get a pilgrims cello in my credential, and then we all went out to wash clothes. On the way back, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner, which was slightly above average and then waited an eternity for the check. <\/p>\n<p>Today, we had a relatively short walk to Pedrouzo\u202620 kilometers.  It was a rather boring walk with nothing notable.  We checked into our apartment and found out there was no hot water. The company let us use another apartment to shower. We are now at an Italian restaurant eating pasta and pizza. <\/p>\n<p>Only one more day on our Camino\u2026hard to believe. <\/p>\n<p>Some pics from the last two days. Not many pics because not many opportunities. <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 33 was one exhausting day of walking for all of us.
