Over in Lugo!

After splitting up im Oviedo Ben, Daniel and I experienced the first rain on the first day! We walked on and the weahter picked up for a couple of days. It then improved and we did some great walking through beautiful country, with more albergues and less asphalt. The albergues were getting more crowded but they were cheaper. The primitivo has few very small towns but more of the original oak and chesnut forests (less bloody gum trees, a big environmental problem in the north). But the weather detiorated, Ben threw up in his walking shoes during a little bus stretch. We got to Lugo a fair sized city in Galicia and decided as the weather was getting worse with frosts and storms that it was time to call it quits. We headed for Madrid to catch Kerry and Nina as they came in. So we walked almost 750 km but didn´t get to walk into Santiago. No idea where the others are, hopefully they got there.
