Celebrations at Santiago

Almost there!

It's 6.00 am on the 13th and final morning of my Camino.  The rain has been pouring down most of the night and my wet gear is in readiness by my bunk.  It has spent all this time deep in the bottom of my backpack, adding to my weight, but now its day has come.  Galicia, like Ireland, isn't green by chance.  12 days of glorious sunshine have finally yielded to the inevitable!

I am in a sparkling new albergue in the dormitory town of Milladoiro  7 km from Santiago.  As my daily average is a puny 12km, this will allow me reach journey's end by early afternoon, not in time for the packed midday mass when pilgrims' nationalities and points of departure are announced, but rather for the more intimate evening services.  I still don't have a confirmed bed for tonight, but no doubt one will be provided!

Here are some more photos from the last few days,  when Frank came to join me and get a taste of the adventure!

Sunny smiles
