Dane went for a run and I walked around to the Tower of Hercules. We had breakfast while there was misty rain. As it was a public holiday nearly everything was shut. We checked out, had coffee and walked around the foreshore to the famous mosaic octopus. It was quite impressive the way it wrapped around the balustrade. We walked back into town for more Galician octopus tapas which tasted good. It's boiled octopus with olive oil, salt and paprika. We also had pork cheek, a mini hamburger and guacamole. We caught a cab to the airport to fly to Madrid. Once landed we caught a train to our hostel. We drank beer on the roof top and really felt the 35 degree temperature!
