After a wonderfully restful night, despite a few annoying mosquitoes that buzzed around but luckily did not bite, we got up for another day. We were to have a short hiking day so we took our time, letting the others in the room pack up and leave. Having coffee and toast we chatted with a …

Back to the future
After a dreadful night with one of the worst snorers imaginable, we got up to find that fortunately the forecasted rain came during the night. We ate a quick breakfast breakfast from out packed food, said a goodbye to Sarah as she headed off to Muxía and who knows where from there. We started out …
Until we meet again
After a late night of pilgrim revelry, including Mandy managing to keep up with Tony, beer for beer and Stephanie and me polishing off several bottles of Spanish wine, all while moving from rock to rock to get the best vantage point for the sunset, we managed to get up and packed. As we had …
The coast of death
We have been enchanted with Muxía and the albergue where we are staying so decided to stay an extra day. The area has been known as the Coast of Death due to the many ship wrecks over the years, but is also known for all the conger eel fishing and drying still done in the …

Finisterre – the end of the earth
After a marvelously restful night's sleep, with probably the best pillow of the trip, we slowly got up and got moving. About when we planned to depart we finally had a sighting of our Irish friends. They stayed out enjoying the company of a previous year's hiking companion. Looking a bit worse for wear we …
To Cee to see the sea
We had a light supper at the albergue where we were staying as that was it for the town. It was directly across from the church, where the bell rang about 1730 for evening mass. The older local women all walked over, all dressed about the same, while the men stayed at the bar, solving …
The grim reaper
After a night serenaded by a chorus of snorers and crinkling plastic bed covers each time someone turned over, we got up early. The hope was to get started a bit sooner than we had been to miss out on some of the afternoon heat. We ate a light breakfast from what we had purchased …
And then there were 4
After our rest and celebratory time in Santiago we bid farewell to two of our hiking tribe members - we had gathered a wonderful Camino family: Chris, the grandad, me, the grandmom, Tony, the dad, Stephanie, the mom, Mandy, the big sister and Simon, the young son. Chris we sent on his way this morning …
