Day 8:
Day 8, long day! We walked 29km and the forecast said rain but we made it to the hotel before the rain started around 3:30. Definitely a lot better than yesterday. There was even a little sun peaking through at times! The trail had some hills but was a lot flatter than most days, making it a lot easier to walk 29km. You can tell the change in the region by the trails, as the past two days have been a lot of trees with moss, and covered woods areas. Luckily, we managed to keep ahead of the other pilgrims (walkers) today, walking very fast thanks to Chris... With the increase of pilgrims, it is also getting more and more commercial as we go on with more vendors of Camino shells and bracelets etc. It's been a very tiring day, but we did an extra few km than the typical "stages" you see in the Camino books, so that we have a shorter walk in two days when we arrive in Santiago.
