To be a pilgrim, you need a pilgrim’s passport


Weather:  even the Atlantic has warmed up enough for me to do more than 4 strokes.  Mind you David hasn’t been in at all yet!

What do you think these things are?  My guess was hen houses and David thought they were for interring the family.  Actually they were used to store food pre-fridges!  Excitment is mounting, we're planning a bike ride out to the biggest one on the world tomorrow, if it's not too hot

and we love these upside down trees:

Loving this campsite.  We are right next to the beach and can hear the waves as we drift off to sleep, and all for the grand price of €14 a night for the pitch including electricity.  And the food in the restaurant isn’t bad either.

That was just the starter!

We’ve not done a lot because it’s so relaxing here but today we cycled into town for the bus to Santiago to see what everyone has been walking to.  We decided it must be a bit of an anti-climax after all that walking.  It seems like you queue up at the Pilgrims Office when you get into town and they check you have enough stamps from churches, town halls or Police along the way and then you get a certificate and that’s it.  But we did our bit and went into the cathedral and the crypt then found a nice restaurant for a long lunch and some top quality people watching before catching the bus home.  To be clear, that's top quality people-watching, the people were of very variable qaulity.

    The weather seems to have improved dramatically for you as well. It's now 29 degrees in Wokingham!
