Bodenaya to Campiello

Friday 3rd October. A music wake up call at 0730 followed by the usual continental breakfast. Depart at 0830 in foggy conditions with more climbing  until above the clouds where the views are stunning, all very green it reminds me of Austria. The days walk is nearly all on dirt pathways with plenty of mud and cow dung along wiyh that particular sweet aroma in the air. By now most people agree that the kilometers in the guide books are light on and do not correspond with those using gps. Stop at an abandoned monastery at Obona for lunch, pity it would have been magnificent in its day. Now it going to ruin. The day is getting hot in the sun and my right ankle is giving me trouble, I will have to strap it. Arrive at Campiello albergue run by Herminia a lovely lady and a good albergue with plenty of hot water. The cena served to  peregrinos is enormous, way too much food with plenty of vino tinto.
