Beautiful walk today with such a nice variety of beach to forest to ending with Urban ( not a fan).
Anyway, Vigo is an enormous City.
My hostel was over 2 km from the Camino trail.

ViaggiatoreOh no - not the Smarl Wool socks - they are far too precious!Do I remember correctly that Santiago is the official finishing point? Well, here's a toast to the Penguin Pilgrim - too funny!!!

ViaggiatoreIt uses a totally different muscle group. It takes the pressure off of your knees and especially quads. I a always use it with steep concrete/ pavement roads..... With extreme caution😉

Very cool morning. I used my phone as a headlamp at times when walking in the woods.
It was supposed to rain , however it didn't which was great!

ViaggiatoreOMG. No dogs for you Susan. How did you ever find a Doctor on a Sunday afternoon?
ViaggiatoreThe Dr. Luckily was walking just ahead of me. I just walked to a private hospital. It was $147 euros to see him and I waited about an hour and a half.....The owner was such a jerk. He carried a stick to control his pup....it was not the dogs fault however Belgians can be super aggressive. The problem was the speed at which the dog changed directions. I am totally fine♥️♥️
ViaggiatoreMy goodness - what a day you had! I assume you are being "honest" when you say your are "fine". Neat to hear that you are enjoying the company of several people, all of whom must be interesting to chat with and hear about their lives in different cultures!

Is the last part of many days just one foot in front of the other, wanting to get off your feet?

Nice salad. surprised you could move after that. What did the convent look like. At least you beat the rush.
