Day 29 - Santiago de Compostela

We've finally made it to Santiago!!!! 770 km (at least) and several kilometres of climbing! The final section was good weather following a misty start. We did have a couple of incidents today - 1. Abi’s chain snapped on the first uphill of the day (ably repaired by Mike!) 2. the lead bike (Mark!) ran into some wet concrete as part of a new construction. The road crew were not happy but we retrieved the bike with minimal issues!
Before going to our hotel we went to the Pilgrim Office to get our Compostela and Distance Certificate, as proof of completion - all in latin, including our names (Joannam and Marcus).
We’ve now got two more lovely weather days to the coast and a day off tomorrow. Looking forwards to a relaxing day and then Abi and Mike leave us so we’ll be back to 3 riders again!
55kms cycled today, 950m up, 1265m down.Leer más
