Like she would like to sleep some more. Come on, let's have a coffee!<\/p><p>We find our way out of the city, on a forest track filled with green trees and ferns. The fog can't find her way here, but small bead like drops have gathered on leaves and flowers.<\/p><p>I push my luck on a conversation with Mamarmot.\u00a0<\/p><p>-\"Mamarmot, if you didn't sleep last night, then what did you do?\"<\/p><p>From my left side I hear a bear like mumble.<\/p><p>-\"Oh well, Marmot. I counted sheep, wolves that were eating the sheep, dogs that chased the wolves. And I still couldn't get some sleep. Then I read, I wrote, calculated, reflected, day dreamed. It went well for a while but then I started to get angry about not being able to get any sleep.\"<\/p><p>Oh, poor Mamarmot.\u00a0<\/p><p>I would have a few more questions but I'll keep them for later as it seems we won't find any coffee too soon.<\/p><p>And I'm right. The path will take us out of the forest, either through a hill ridge. either through  lower areas, but no sign of any city so far.<\/p><p>At some point, our path meets the asphalt and there we find the long desired coffee. Of course, I take the opportunity to enjoy a chocolate ice cream and rest next to a pilgrim doggy.<\/p><p>Mamarmot is a new person now, good enough for me to continue with my questions. I forgot what I wanted to ask her, but I'll find something else.<\/p><p>Mamarmot says we'll be looking for some ruins. Castromaior is something that resembles our Sarmisegetuza apparently. Oh..what a beautiful place!<\/p><p>But the path takes us on the hill and forth but no sign of any ruin.\u00a0<\/p><p>A signpost tells us we should stray a bit from our way to see them. Okay.<\/p><p>But Mamarmot says no. Wow. she ,must be really tired if she doesn't want to walk some extra meters.<\/p><p>-\"It's fine, Marmot, we keep this point on our list, to return again on the Camino.\"<\/p><p>Sounds good. I'd really like to return. But let's finish this one first, right?<\/p><p>The sun is up on the sky now and our walk is very pleasant.\u00a0<\/p><p>We stop for a snack in a place covered by a flower arch but we stay a bit more for some card games.

An the tentacle that goes towards Romania is a short one.\u00a0<\/p><p>We continue our way through spring flowers up to Palas de Rei, the town in which we'll be staying today.<\/p><p>It resembles Sarria a bit, although it's small and a full of cats.<\/p><p>A milestone - a pink one this time - takes my eyesight to a storefront. Inside I can see T-shirts, and on one of them, a pilgrim octopus stands proudly. It's really the travelling octopus. I knew it!

It was probably a hard day for him too.\u00a0<\/p><p>We play a few cards games until we start feeling sleepy and then we get to our beds, this time in a room where the light turns off.<\/p><p>I daydream about the world map. I would like to see all the places on this planet. I wonder how much would that take me. How many countries are there? I'll keep in mind to ask this to my folks tomorrow. Maybe if I would be like the travelling octopus, with a tentacle in each country, it would be easier. Until then, I have a few more days to walk until the end of the world.
