Lady’s Bridge…

Day 22 - Reverse Camino de Santiago to Porto - Today from Pontevedra to Vigo. 

The druids were up early this morning, rustling about with their zips and Velcro straps, applying foot cream and Volterol, liberally to alleviate aching limbs. It’s quite a routine and starts before first light, they desperately fumble about with little lights strapped to their heads, trying to pack massive sacks of beloved belongings. 

This bicigrino just lets them all get gone, and allows daylight to break before I take my turn to rise and shine…in peace!

Today I’m heading down to the little port of Moana, to catch a ferry to Vigo, as I’m not allowed over the road bridge.

It’s hourly, and for only €2.40 dobbers, it’s a nice way to take a break from the saddle.

20 minutes later I was in the big city of Vigo. 

Down by the port.

I passed this fella on the way to work with his Brommie…

I googled what to do and it suggested I walk up to the highest point of the city, O Castro’s fortress…Jeez, just what I need, another bloody hill!! While up there, it did make me wonder how the bloody hell could you sink a ship from here with a cannon…??

From the top, I then googled, where is a good ‘Cervecería’ and set off back down into town.

Iv crowbarred ‘Lady’s bridge’ in so that I can have a fix of Richard Hawley for today’s tune, nice and relaxed.
