PodróżnikCongratulations Bruce on your 3rd Compostela. That's such an achievement. It's concerning how busy it is. Does SDC reflect that? Is it busy?
PodróżnikHi ANN only in parts is it v busy. It comes in waves. Yesterday when I qued up for my Compostela, I got straight in.... as I went out there was a queue. And as I mentioned getting a Renfe train to Madrid 4 days in advance was an issue. I should add the 8th is a Sunday
PodróżnikI thought you weren't leaving until the 9th? But you are going on the 8th?
PodróżnikYes ANN. My ability to schedule is not my highest quality. In this case fixing date with Canada, Camino Inglës And wanting/needing to meet with you, Terry and Carmel were challenges I needed my dear June to fix. But we do have some of the 7th a d 8th 😂
