Last stretch

On the last day, I was 28k from Santiago, so it would be a full day's walk before I got there.
Klaus was spending the night of the 23rd 6k closer, and Jan was coordinating the time so we could meet him again. But I was ready to start walking quite early, with head torch at hand, and off I went.
This time, it was me lighting the way for another pilgrim, a young guy from Honduras living in Barcelona, Kervin.
After about 6k we saw Klaus, who was sitting outside his albergue waiting for Jan.
We went on, and had breakfast after 2 more kms.
Eventually they caught up with us, but when they stopped for cerveza I overtook them, and didn't see them again until Santiago.
After breakfast, my right ankle made me slow down at times, so I said to Kervin not to worry about me, and we each walked at our own pace.
The higher pilgrim density was very noticeable in this part of the Camino.Read more
