From Fonfria to Triacastela there is a continuous descent, as we started on the road quite early and the fog and low temperatures are tiring, the wind in front makes the descent even more unpleasant. We didn't really recover after the previous day and we don't feel like talking.
Arriving at Triacastela we stop for a coffee. We are in a real dilemma, where to go? Through San Xil, a shorter road in the valley or through Samos with 7.2 km longer? We choose to go through Samos to visit the famous monastery, a beautiful road with impressive oak and chestnut forests on both sides of the river Oribio (Sarria).
In Samos we are looking for the monastery, mentioned above, dedicated to San Julian founded in the sixth century, which unfortunately is closed under the given conditions, we barely manage to stamp our credential. After we leave the small town, I can barely move my arms, which puts Vasi to an extra effort.
With great effort we arrive in Saria, we take accommodation at a boarding house, because no one answered the phone at the hostel. We weren't very inspired because the bathroom was very small, and it was impossible for me to go to the toilet or take a shower.
We rest the rest of the day without worries, we know that the albergues will be open. We didn't even think much about tomorrow, but in order to not get bored, life gets us in a little hassle tomorrow, which we could have avoided today.
