Pretty much all of our training has been along Linear Park and all the while we have been accompanied by the chatter, twitter, warble, squawk, screech, caroling, quacking, cawing and outright laughter of myriad birds; when we haven't felt much like walking it has always been the colours and chorus, the babies and the antics of the birds that have changed our 'drudgery' to joy. Sweet little reminders of God's amazing creation.

Day 28: Palas de Rei to Arzua 30kms

A long day and an early start this morning afforded us peace and quiet for much of our day. A noticeable difference from yesterday as there was the constant hum of people chatting, behind and then in front! Amazed. Again. The huge gum trees reaching higher than any pine or oak, plantation after plantation. Beautiful. Today I was thinking roller coasters, which I don't like ... up, down, up, down. But all drudgery is negated walking through the forests.
