Home and Away

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. My intention has always been to document my years of travel since my birth...how else was I to save all the slides my Dad took of my childhood! Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to name our blog "Home and Away."

Albergue Ponte Ferreira

But there was a near by option in Ferreira...
Hello Bob. I am Juanma, the hospitalero at Ponte Ferreira. We are really sorry that you had to continue 6km further on the Camino that day and got there so tired! As you can see in the sign on the photo, there was another albergue in Ferreira, just 500m to the right, where you could have stayed; it is also run by us, the same hospitaleros at Ponte Ferreira, and is called Albergue A Nave (www.anavedeferreira.com). We had to close Ponte Ferreira for a few days on the second half of September for some works in the kitchen; sorry for the inconvenience caused! Buen Camino!

Thanks for your explanation about the other albergue being available.
