Out of the Mountains

Shortly after the start of our Camino I lamented choosing the Norte Way.Well I was wrong.Altho the hills were grim at the beginning & there was too much 'asphalt'there was much to enjoy in the countryside.The real reward was the Camino Primitivo.Beautiful scenery.
Left my Philosopher friend Niq yesterday.Too bad he missed 'the spaghetti Bolognese made by the Englishman'- Pierre the Italian's words.His verdict?He had one helping,Connor & I 3 each...
Had the last Alto -about 2,000'today.Left San Romana Retorta just behind Pierre then Connor kept seeing them on & off all day.You must go at your own pace.
Found Connor reading on his sleeping matt a couple of k's before Melide.Walked in together & got a taste of 'the horror that is the French way'.The hordes of Pilgrims- there was a queue for the Albergue so we gave it a miss and booked into a Pension.Shower & siesta and into Town...
