Well we are getting closer. Less than 45km to go until we reach our final destination of Santiago de Compostela and complete our pilgrimage. I must admit we are both in two minds about the end of this adventure. In one way it is a relief that we have completed it but on the other hand we don't want it to end. It has been hard work but still, despite the pains, one of the best things we have ever done.
Today the weather, as forecast, broke and the skies have remained cloudy all day with the odd shower. It hasn't spoiled the day as it has been a great walk through pretty scenery. Small villages and vineyards. The majority has been on hard surfaces but a few long sections on sand and gravel paths.
These softer paths are our favourite as they are much easier on the feet.
Plus today we have met several of the friends we have made over the course of the last 11 days and of course new people who we haven't met before. The spirit of commaradarie and joint purpose is for us one of the nicest things about this adventure.
The past few days we have met a fantastic group of American guys. Mia. Kate, James and Eric. Our paths cross only sporadically but they are great company and definitely brighten the day. I hope we get to see them again before, or during our time in, Santiago.
The lodgings are perfect. A comfy little hotel run by a very friendly guy called Fernando. He can't speak a word of English but must count as one of the nicest old guys on the planet. Perfect end to a perfect day
