Ahh No! I didn’t walk 64km in one day. I got up and decided I had enough of this camino so walked to the train station and got a 20minute train to Santiago. Best decision ever!
I can’t quite put my finger on it exactly but this camino just didn’t do it for me. It was probably more beautiful than the French Camino and I had some awesome walking days, but maybe I’ve changed or others have changed, I just never got the same buzz as the French Camino.
With only 3 more walking days to go and with only a few minor towns to go through I just thought whats the point. Three days of meh! Or just go straight to the jugular of Santiago. Absolutely buzzing city and I felt better the second I left the train station.
I toured around the city and took plenty of pictures, but won’t post them yet as my amigos on this camino have never been to Santiago yet so I won’t put a spoiler out.
Spent the afternoon organising a flight home on Monday (via Seville) and then headed out for a lovely pizza and beers at a little taberna.
Now I’m writing this sitting in the best craft beer bar in the world drinking Wonderwall New England IPA. The barman recognized me instantly from two years ago when I sampled the whole menu in one sitting and left the bar stammering. 🙈
I’ll have a few more here and then hit the hay. I might travel in the train to meet Lindsey and Caeley tomorrow as I won’t see them before I go home. For me they have both been the icing on the cake for this camino and have restored my faith that there are still normal people in the world who just love a laugh.
I’ll post the Santiago pictures on Saturday when Stephen arrives and see it for himself.
Nighty night folks! 🙏🏻
