Melide and Arzua?

The past two days have been much cooler, which have made the climbs more tolerable. Last night we stayed in Melide. Nothing especially significant about Melide except it is where we were told to get Pulpo, or octopus. 
 We went to the restaurant which was recommended to give it a try. Lori even took a bite, but I'm sure it will be her last (see an earlier post on my Facebook page). I liked it well enough, but not enough to have again. 
The walk from Melide was OK, not too hot and not too steep. As we got closer to the end I put our hotel into Google Maps to make sure we didn't pass it. Much to my surprise it shows it miles away. As it turns out, when they say "on the Camino" in their Booking.com description, they mean "5 miles off the Camino".  Hmm. A call confirmed this, but that they would pick us up and bring us back in the morning. No problem. The place was nice enough but I didn't get to enjoy it much as I felt sick for most of the afternoon and evening. This morning, as I finish writing this, we have been waiting 25 minutes past the time we would be taken back, with no signs of the owner. Hmm. Hope the rest of the day goes better...
