Oct. 19th Alto do Poio

Day 66   10 miles   Total 854.5

The day started with loud classical music to wake everybody, horrible.
The nights rain had eased when I set off. I decided to walk the road alternative rather than a muddy walk through the forest. It's so green now, plenty of rain as I approach Galicia, Atlantic weather.
It was almost 2000' ascent up to O Cebriero.
At the 1st village coffee stop I found I'd dropped my glasses on the way. Whilst writing my blog a Danish family walked in with my glasses.
The rain came down hard. Some people are so ill-prepared for bad weather. I had my brolly to keep me dry, just my feet got wet. None the less, I stopped a village before the one I'd targeted. A wood stove blazing and hot radiators convinced me.
The albergue didn't have a good write-up, but plain homecooked Spanish food and not crowded made it for me
