Just landed in Abu Dhabi. It was a good flight but long. It's around 11:30 pm here. The smoking room is at the back of a bar. Next stop Madrid!

What a great day! I've walked 27kms as I made my way around the city and loved every minute of it. The map I used is threadbare. The Guggenheim exceeded expectations, and the day just got better from Czytaj więcej

I've just landed in Santiago airport and have hopped into the car that will take me to Sarria. I didn't see any pilgrims at the airport, but I did catch one sign.

The drive from Santiago to Sarria was pleasant. It was mostly freeway at 120 klms an hour, and I recalled when I was driving in Montana and the speed limit on the freeway was 120 miles per hour! It Czytaj więcej

We headed out just before 8 a.m. in the dark into a very thick fog. The climb out of Portomarin was lovely, and we seemed to climb for the rest of the day (exhausting). The fog stayed around for ages, Czytaj więcej
Podróżnik I love Tinto de Verano. The other drink I also like is Cervasa con limon (San Miguel Radler). It's been very hot today and we drank Tinto de Verano at our early afternoon stop.
Carmel Carlsen I'm glad to find out that the beer with lemon is good. I've been meaning to try it 👍
Podróżnik I don't like beer but it was so hot near Rabanal when I stopped for rest and drink. I saw sign Limon at the bar and pointed to order. As they were pouring I noticed the froth and realised I had ordered a beer! Must have been as Ann says San Miguel Radler. It was delicious. 😉
