It
is leaving time but we are not in a hurry because it does not stop raining.
At eight o’clock we decide to leave even though it is still raining.
Towards Arca,
when it stops raining.
We,
a little bit wet, have breakfast in Arzua. The Camino is as nice as ever.
Both rain and mud also have their charm. We are very tired, not because of the
Camino, but basically because we cannot rest properly. When we arrive at
Arca, we directly go to the pilgrims’ hostel. Some people from support cars and others that are not pilgrims not only want to enter the hostel but
jump the queue. Wrong idea. A man from Vigo, Paca and I raise such a rumpus
that people almost call the Guardia Civil. When they see our determination,
they leave before the pilgrims’ hostel opens. The old trick of taking the
rucksacks in a van and putting them in the queue does not work today. If
hospitaleros ignore these people or cannot control them, it is time that
pilgrims take control of these going ons.
Waiting for enter the hostel.
Paca
and I are dead tired at this moment and, above all, very cross with the
organisation of the Camino in Galicia. But, that is great, tomorrow in Santiago!
We cannot believe this.
(We
phone Ales several times from Arca. His mobile phone is out of service).
