The Cathedral
24 sierpnia 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
After getting the Compostela and leaving the backpack in a locker, I did the obligatory visit to the Cathedral. I saw the box that supposedly holds the remains of Saint James, admired the architecture and the ornaments and saw the famous botafumeiro, hanging still. Czytaj więcej

It paid off!
25 sierpnia 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Logistics got in the way, but everything worked out in the end.

Last night we were at Albergue La Estación. When we decided to stay for a second night, we asked, but they were booked out (good that we don't stay there again, that's where I got the bed bugs!).
We were able to reserve at Seminario Menor for today (it was full yesterday).
So, when we checked out from La Estación this morning, we carried our backpacks to the city and stored them at the pilgrims office, because we couldn't enter the other albergue until 1.30pm.
We met Monika for lunch at 2pm, and then Klaus joined us. Time flew. I wanted to check into the other albergue before going to the Cathedral. We were advised to start queuing from 4pm. We had a leisurely morning but, suddenly, time was tight.
We left the restaurant around 3.30. Picked up the backpacks, rushed to Seminario Menor, checked in, and rushed back to the Cathedral. We got there around 4.30 and there was a long queue.
Jan was very disappointed, almost certain that we missed our chance, and we wouldn't be able to get in in time. One of his goals for the Camino was to be able to stay calm in adverse circumstances, and this was a hard test! The queue was advancing, but so was the clock. I thought we still had a chance, and would not give up. In the back of my mind, I also thought that the info we had could have been incorrect, and perhaps the botafumeiro wouldn't swing. That was one of my lessons: no expectations.
Anyway, we finally got in towards the end of a mass in French. Then there were a few formal proceedings, some chanting, etc. and it was well after 6 when the bishop said something about incense... and the music started playing, and the show started!
It was about 4 minutes, and the icing on the cake on a very successful Camino! Czytaj więcej

Last photo with Jinjoo and Klaus
24 sierpnia 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Uploading late - this pic was from Wednesday evening. We had an early dinner because Jinjoo was leaving that night.
Today (Friday) she messaged from Rome. She's spending a week there before returning to Korea. I have a feeling we'll keep in touch.

I saw Klaus again on Thursday but I don't think we took more photos.

Jan is also walking to Finisterre, so I will see him for a few more days. Czytaj więcej

Santiago und der Weg des Jakobs
18 września 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Schön war es in Pantin aber letzte Nacht hat so der Wind gepfiffen, dass unser Seppl ordentlich gewackelt hat… Zeit aufzubrechen um ein Stück weiter zu fahren, fanden wir.
Heute war Santiago de Compostela, 100 km südlich, unser Ziel. Wir sind zwar nicht die super begeisterten Besichtiger von Touristen Hotspots, aber wenn es schon mal am Weg liegt …
Santiago ist schön aber voll von ankommenden Jakobsweg-Wanderern. Wie man bei so einem Massenwanderstrom zu sich selbst finden soll ist uns ein Rätsel. Da sitz ich lieber zu zweit am Meer und schau den Wellen und der Brandung zu.
Die Stadt war trotzdem ein Erlebnis.
Morgen werden wir nach Portugal aufbrechen.
Juhuu! 🥳😎 Czytaj więcej

Santiago de Compostela!
2 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
Mimi and I entered the Cathedral courtyard together! I am so happy!
It was such a great day, not just reaching the Cathedral, but seeing other pilgrims I met along the way enter the courtyard with the bagpipes welcoming pilgrims to Santiago Compostela!
Thank you for the many prayers!
God is good all the time! Czytaj więcej

This phase of my journey is nearly at an end. We had lunch and cerveza 🍺, then checked in to the hostal (back to where I stayed on the very first night). After a shower we headed out to explore a bit.

First we stopped in a couple of shops (Sharon has room in her pack to fill), then went to see the Cathedral.

Next we grabbed a seat in the Praza Quintana, behind the Cathedral, and enjoyed a vino and shared a plate of Galician style pulpo 🐙 - yes, octopus.

Then we went back into the Cathedral to wait for mass. We wanted to be able to have a seat. Czytaj więcej

Santiago at night
6 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We got a lovely surprise during the mass. They swung the botafumeiro! For those who don’t know, here is the Wikipedia definition:

“The Botafumeiro (Galician for 'smoke expeller') is a famous thurible in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. Incense is burned in this swinging metal container, or censer.”

The story is that the incense helped to camouflage the stench of the ancient pilgrims. Unlike us, they did not have access to a daily shower.

The botafumeiro is typically swung once a week. But additional times are added if a sponsor pays 300€. It takes several men to swing it. We were seated a ways back, so not a great view, but you get the idea. It is very dramatic. If you want a better view, watch the movie ‘The Way’ - Emilio Estévez is part of the crew swinging the botafumeiro.

After mass, we wandered a bit, enjoyed some helado, and got some great photos of the Cathedral at night. Czytaj więcej

Last day of walking! We made it to the pilgrim's office at 8:30 and got in line. We were #8 and #9 in line. Apparently, the first 10 in line get tickets for a free lunch. We didn't know about this until receiving them.
After getting our Compostela we did the photo shoot in front of the cathedral. Then it was dropping our bags off and breakfast. Later we will be playing tourist. Czytaj więcej

Day 44 - On the buses
29 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
“The Camino taught me to keep going, to keep moving forward when life gets hard — even if it’s one step at a time.” — Tristina Oppliger

Day 44 - Morpeguite to Santiago de Compostela by bus

Today I completed my stint at The Little Fox House. Swept and tidied, made sure all the laundry was hung to dry (it has taken days and still not dry!), washed and put away all the dishes, fresh kitty litter, lots of food and water for them etc. At least Tracy can come to a clean house and hopefully happy kittys.

The bus to get me to Muxia was 15 mins late - and I had been 15 mins early. I don’t think I was standing in the correct spot either as the driver was giving me heck for something and “bus no stop here” was part of it. Either way, he let me on and off we went. I had 3 hrs to kill in Muxia - and I’ve already been there and done that. So, went to lunch and ended up with a massive pizza. I couldn’t eat it all and luckily the servers English was better than my Spanish and he asked if I wanted to take the rest with me. Wasted another hour until the bus came and headed to Santiago de Compostela for my last night.

The next time I walk a Camino, I want to build in an extra week to walk to Finesterre and Muxia. I have heard it is totally worth the walk - so beautiful. However for this time, I have taken the bus between all points.

I know when I go to Paris I need to wear “smart” dress for Moulin Rouge. That will be a bit of a trick as I don’t have anything with me that qualifies, and the stuff Kathryne is bringing for me (I packed before I left) is mostly beach, hot weather stuff. So, off I went to one of the big shopping malls in SdC. 1€ on the bus each way and it was pretty much a waste of time. Couldn’t find anything I was in love with but left with a sweater just to play it safe. Plain, mock neck sweater but at least it’s better than a tshirt that says “Adventure never ends” on it. I will be way under dressed, but that’s the way it goes. Oh - and I have no coat either. Just a zip up fleece. My damn luck they won’t even let me in 😬

Didn’t get back to the hostel until 9:20pm, at which point I finally had my dinner - a large salad. The pizza will have to wait til tomorrow. Maybe I will take it for the airport before my flight to Madrid.

Looking forward to tomorrow, even though it’s my last day in SdC. Things to do, people to see and places to go! Czytaj więcej
