    What a wonderful cosy hostel. Slept in and enjoyed a late breakfast. Pouring rain outside!!

    Enjoyed chatting with Elliot and Anna over coffee. They have cycled from Lisbon up to Santiago They will join the Del Note Camino up to Southern France. Very cool!!

    I walked down to the Cathedral and got in line. I decided to get a seat and wait for the 1800 Good Friday service. I waited for almost 3 hours but it was so worth the experience.

    Trudged home afterwards in the pouring rain.
    Had dinner and chatted again with Elliot and Anna. They are camping for the next 2 nights.....yup forecast 100% rain!!! 😱
