O Cebreiro to Calvor 42km

What a day. We dont even know how to start explaining this....
Leaving the mountain top in thick thick mist we set off down the far side, steeply decending (our most hated aspect of walking) through small villages to the bottom 20km later, arriving in a revolting spot called Triacastela.Along the way we bumped into Danny from California who we hadnt seen since day 1, having no money he is content sleeping in churches and eating grass.. properly roughing it this one is!Paella was ordered for lunch as our usual stale bread sandwiches werent going to cut it today.
Off we set again after a 1 hour break, heading straight out of the town in the direction of Calvor..or so we thought. This was the VERY crucial sign which we missed..5km later a slight look of bewildermant crossed our faces when we saw the direction the signposts were heading in, and it certainly wasnt west.
Several expletives did leave our mouthes at this moment as the thought of an additional 5km on top of the 37km we were already taking on that day was less than funny.
Even worse, there was nowhere to stay before Calvor, so we just had to get there.
After only about 5 minutes of thumbs out on the road we managed to get an 18year old boy racer to drive us back to the town of Triacastela, where, for a second time we attempted to leave.To cheer us up more, hills, hills and more hills. After many many moments of áre we going to make it?´and using our phones to call people to distract ourselves from the pain (Sorry Amber in Sydney at 2.30am!) we trundled down the hill to the delightful Calvor. Hungry, dirty and now cold at 8pm, our day was made perfect by finding that the village didnt exist, there was a hostal with not even a vending machine. That dinner we had dreamt off was not going to be.. alas.. a solution.. with a lot of hand signals and nodding of heads the hostal manager arranged for an owner of a local hotel to come and collect us, take us to the hotel, feed us and bring us back.
With only the starter consumed and exhaustion taking over as food was starting to miss our mouthes we were dropped back to the hostel for a very good nights sleep.
