Ribadeo is an ideal place to recover and recharge. It's relatively easy to enter and moor and is fairly calm. The river winds away inland towards mountains and would be good to explore on another occasion. The facilities are fairly new and pleasant. We spent Day 7 doing f*** all, our needs being amply met by the cafe, restaurant and laundry, a mere 200m walk away.

We ventured a little further on Day 8 up into the town, where the season had clearly not got under way yet. However there were some delicious cherries for sale in the indoor market. We wiled away the afternoon in a small bar with 4 friendly Liverpudlians from the 2 adjacent boats. After several buckets of beer (1 bucket = 6 bottles = 5 euros not bad eh??!!), we managed to find the England football match on an iPad and watched the final 30 minutes in increasing gloom at the thought of being knocked out by Wales of all people......and then WOW in the last second a miracle happened!!!! Another bucket had to be purchased.

Day 9 : We need to make a decision today about where to go tomorrow. All will be relieved, but we're tending towards heading east not west for various reasons.
