Day 31: Portmarrin - Palais del Reis

Day 31, we creep closer to the finish line! Because i love this walk so much, and with some spare time in Sydney when I get home, I've decided to extend to walk to Finisterre (end of world). This is the western most part of Europe, literally the end of the world for Europeans throughout history. Apparently seeing the coast after so long is special. I'm excited.

Today was another day in Galicia, up and down and up and down through beautiful towns and farmland. We caught up with some French friends today which nice. Marco, our favourite french-speaking Italian, could not stop laughing when I stopped to put on sunscreen. "But it's November!" He has a point.

I was talked into having a chupito "shot" along the walk, then a beer at the next bar. This was great for a while, but certainly not as great as the kilometres kept coming. Won't be doing that again.

A chill little town, and with no kitchen facilities we just did a 'tapas' kind of dinner, which was pretty much just ready to eat things from the supermarket. All things considered, quite good! We also had a good laugh with Aussie Liz at the Albergue who I hadn't seen in a while. Everyone else loved her saying "You guys are a hoot", which turns out is an Audtralian-ism.Read more
