Penultimate day

Leaving from Santiago back to Porto today so we are starting to realise that the walk is done and home is calling. 4 hours on the bus seemed like a drop in the ocean, and it was a little strange to see the places we’d walked past pop up so quickly on the bus route..

It’s been a brilliant trip, with legs made from steel and walking very firmly planted in our future.

Before we left Santiago de Compostela we managed to grab some early pics outside the cathedral when no one was around - amazing! We met a German lady, Heike, who had done the Camino 17 times! Crazy, but who knows maybe we’ll be that person taking photos for someone else, and sharing our own Camino stories…

Once we leave Santiago, we have one last night in Porto to see the sunset and have a few glasses of Super Bock.

We are also passing on our walking poles to someone else who’s attempting the Camino tomorrow - as they say - ‘the Camino provides’. I hope those poles go on to have a long and fruitful life up and down the coast.

Beijinhos!Read more
