May 26

I was treated to a cup of tea in bed prepared for my birthday. We set off early for us, 8:15 for what we thought was going to be a shorter distance - 17 km. Most of our day was walking on beautiful boardwalks along the ocean. There were times the boardwalk disappeared as it was covered in sand, walking in the sand barefoot felt so good! The crashing of the waves became a rhythm for our walking pace, the salt water smell wafting around us and the sea breeze, which at times felt like a sea gale wind, a constant for our day. Our day was longer than we anticipated, about 23 km, but despite being very exhausted, we were so excited to arrive at our luxurious accommodations with our own private bathroom. We had a lovely dinner, prawn pasta and ice cream bars for dessert. Lorelee and Mary treated me like a Camino princess for my birthday. Thanks to them and everyone for the birthday wishes making my birthday a special day.Read more
