A Coruña to Santiago

A Coruña was overcast this morning, I took my last chance to get a ride in along the coast. Only an hour but I did get all salty. Quick shower, a glass of coffee, a ride along the historic places in town and on the way to Decathlon, curious if they will indeed buy the bike back, given the wear and tear I put on it. I did pass a car wash and I think it really helped that I washed off 27 days of cow poop. They gave me 90 euros in store credit and I got a good rain coat, a fleece, vitamins and one high performance underwear. All very useful for the Azores adventure that is coming up. It's going to be a rainy one.

Took the fast train to Santiago. As I'm walking up the street leading away from the station, who would I see? Eric and Mike of course! Perfect timing, the Camino is still working.

It went from hanging out mellow on the luxuriant back deck, to a beer, wine, champagne snacks run and consequent imbibements to an incredible dinner in modern likely the best restaurant in Santiago. It's a great time being with Eric and his neighbor of many decades Mike. It's all so smooth and the conversation is always interesting with Eric leading the charge. I walk back to my albergue in a slight mist adding to more ambiance.Read more
