Day 81/82 - Santiago to Negreira

We had a lovely rest day yesterday. We went to the English Mass in the Chapel in the Pilgrims office in the morning. We had a lovely Filipino priest who had lots of thoughts on moving forward after walking the Camino. Simon was slightly vibed out as we all had to introduce ourselves, where we were from and where we had walked from 😆
We then went on a long wander to find the bus station which was the other end of town. We were quite surprised at how big Santiago de Compostella really is.
On the way back we were entertained by a group of singing and dancing young ladies. They were very uplifting 🎶
We then went for a lovely lunch - in the rain! But found a great restaurant that looked after us very well.
We went souvenir shopping- little things that are easy to carry 😉
Then a relaxing evening!
Today we were up and off. We are travelling to Muxia and then Finisterre on the western Atlantic coast. After some debate we are doing a combination of walking and public transport on this last leap of our travels.
The Plodicus’s wisdom tooth 🦷 is starting to play up 🤨 it may have been jolted in the horse debacle! He is downing ibuprofen to attack whatever’s happening.
Today we got the bus to Negreira, had a wander round town only to find it’s a local holiday so all is closed 🙄
We had lunch at our hotel which was also playing host to a large party of pensioners, and a large party of local walkers. They were literally bussed in and out, all very odd! We just got in before they all marched in and sat down.
Have had a chilled afternoon researching a potential car for Mary on our return 🚘
An early night is planned as we are on foot for the next couple of days.Read more
