466: The REAL Camino - Part II

Days 1 and 2 under the belt. I found today much harder than yesterday. (Note to self, wait for tomorrow!) Looking on the map the stretch from Neda to Pontedueme looked to be simply a North to South route but I found it to be a bit of a meander, in and out like a fiddler's elbow, up and down like a tart's drawers! You know the Duke of York? Not that 'nice' Prince Andrew, we all know and love, but the one from the children's nursery rhyme. I spent a lot of time today marching up to the top of a hill and marching down again. 

My heart has been in my mouth almost every step, for two reasons. Firstly I was concerned that the barking dogs I heard here and there might not have been behind big fences - they were, thankfully. I didn't need to parry them off with my trusty peregrino pole. Secondly that I might have come across a high bridge that needed crossing. I don't do high bridges and it would have been a premature end to the adventure. This one, at Pontedueme, was easy-peasy.

A few pictures: a few views, a few meals, and two Strava route maps.
