Santiago de Compostela day 2

Santiago is not a great place to spend a lot of time as a camino pilgrim, it is very busy with a steady flow of new pilgrims every day, but I had no choice as I was actually a couple of days ahead of my schedule. It is a long day when you have nothing to do, so I basically wandered about, taking a few photos, looking for some souvenirs, stopping regularly for coffee.

I had booked a haircut and went just before my appointment and I wa shappy with the results, the barber spoke a bit of english, and it cost about the same as getting a haircut at home.

Elke phoned to see if I would be at the albergue, she was moving on and wanted to say goodbye, so I went back there and we chatted for a while. Once more I was on my own with nothing to do, so i reviewed my plans for tomorrow. I had planned to get the bus to the airport and then a taxi to the hotel which was only about a mile away, so I double checked the bus times etc. then packed my bag as best I could.

With nothing more to do I went back to my bed and read some more, before lights out.Read more
