Made a bit of a pig’s ear of our second last day. We left late as breakfast was included, wearing our jackets and waterproof trousers for the predicted rain, and guess what, the sun came out! So stripped off and when the rain did come we didn’t bother putting our trousers back on as we were just over an hour from our hotel. Anyway surprise surprise you can get pretty drenched walking for an hour in torrential rain! We were marching on when Susan spotted a name just before the town, and said ‘is that not where we are staying’ – good spot Susan.
Had a beer and sort of nagged the woman to let us in early which she duly did. Our Scottish magician came in looking for directions so we have provisionally arranged to meet him, along with his wife and sister in Santiago tomorrow.
The sun came out early afternoon so I took advantage of the hotel’s outdoor pool to have my first swim of the Camino. Needless to say I had the pool to myself…. There was a laundry on site so Susan did her last wash of the Camino.
Spoke to a lovely German couple before eating and then had a rather boozy dinner ourselves – not exactly ideal preparation for our final walk tomorrow.
Dear Sue, Dear Jim,
A boozy dinner! Must try that.
