    Another long day but it was mostly flat which is a big change from the hills yesterday. We had a lovely breakfast with the ladies from Cape Town.

It took me the whole day to process this when swimming in the ocean this afternoon I found myself trying to imagine how somone could possibly get over this but having a piece of her daughter in the form of her beautiful 2 year old granddaughter must ease her pain. They had a candle lit in her memory at breakfast..I'm not writing anymore as I want to dedicate this post to Kiki. Her nickname. I have tears in my eyes writing this and I had tears down my cheeks when the unimaginable story was told to me over coffee and toast at 8am on the camino portuguese.
