Rest In Lugo

Morning: we slept in until around 9.  Then we got up and headed downstairs to eat breakfast at Brios.  I ate tostadas (basically a big slice of toast) wtih a café con leche.   

Afterwards, we went to a local dry cleaner to get some of our clothes washed and dried.  Yes, a luxurious treat, after spending a few weeks handwashing our clothes.

Close to noon we arrived at the tourism centre of Lugo, to ask all our "what should we see and do while here" questions and plan out the rest of our stay here.  We decided to walk around the casco viejo (old centre of town) and see the historic sites there: Praza Mayor, the cathedral, and a lots of other beautiful sights.  Then we stopped at Canela for some yoghurt and tarts.  Mmmmm.

Afternoon: late in the afternoon we decided to eat chinese food.  Jen was craving for it, and I was just happy to be with her and get some food in my stomach.  We landed at Shanghai, and treated ourselves to a good lunch.

Dinner: we once again stayed at Brios, and just as last night, I ate filete de ternera, and paired it with a nice tempranillo.  I think we're both tired from so much walking over the past week that come night time, we couldn't be bothered to go out and sight-see.  We've seen so much already!

We've decided to stay in Lugo one more day, before we continue walking.  We're having a bit of a difficult time deciding which route to take out of Lugo.  Given that we've decided to stay in Lugo one more day, we have only 1 day to walk together. 

If we stay on the Primitivo the route is short (about 20kms), kinda boring, and ends in San Román de Retorta.  If we go to Sobrado dos Monxes, the route is long, 30kms, but it's a hard trek because much of it is on pavement.  Our end destination, however, is Sobrado, because that's where I've arranged to stay at a monastery for a few days, and Jen plans to take a bus to La Coruña from there, as that's where she will meet up with her dad.  They plan to walk the last week of the Camino together.
