Serantes

The trip out was surprisingly straight forward. Drive up to Edinburgh Airport and park up. Security check in took no longer than 10 minutes. Likewise the boarding check in. We took off at the advertised time and landed 10 minutes ahead of schedule. Finding a taxi was a bit of a parp, but the ride into Santiago was quick and uneventful. The bus to Ferrol was on time and delivered us without any drama. The Hostal Fronterra was easy to find and the rooms adequate given the price.
The evening was a noisy one as a man shouted and whistled for his dog for a good half hour. This stopped around 00:30. Then at 01:30 the dust bin men arrived and clattered around outside. At half three a couple af chaps had a loud and animated discussion. Then at 05:30 we had a lengthy shower taken by a fellow guest. Ah well.
Tuesday saw us attend Mass in the Co Cathedral and then present ourselves in the sacristy to collect our opening sello. The remainder of the day was spent tramping round and round Ferrol, with a brief taxi trip out to Decathlon to allow me to pick up a pair of walking poles.
At some point the advice "don't walk to Santiago before you walk to Santiago" came to my mind.
