Did the walk to Fisterre today, sunny for the most part but temp down in the mid to high teens.
The walk was congested with about a dozen of us trudging along together ... we were all snails today, just dawdling along and it took us about 8 hours to cover the distance.
We are all packed into a private hostel, cosy ... guess we all realise that we have completed our journey, but no talk of returning to our respective homes.
Off to a cafe/bar down by the bay and quite a bit of wine consumed, so I guess some sore heads in the morning.

Was going to walk to Fisterra today, but got talked out of it and instead a group of us went a few kms up the coast to a pleasant little bay for a picnic. Unfortunately weather could have been better ... but still a great day. Then an equally enjoyable diner ... its obvious no one wants to admit the walk is pretty well over ... so I guess Fisterra tomorrow then?

Olveiroa to Muxia, about 32km, almost the end of the road for my walking holiday.
It was a cool start in the morning but very pleasant as the morning and early afternoon approached.
Made Muxia about 2pm, a bight to eat, clean up and do the sights.
Just one more stop ....Fisterra .... then ???

Still walking with Liz ..... we make good time and reach Negreira a bit after 1pm ... its nowhere as humid as previous time, a hearty lunch, then off to the hotel.
With laundry on the line and all cleaned up, we head back to the bar for a little R+R, temp reached a top of about 20C today. A couple of beers then think of an early diner and an early night, it gets dark about 8.30pm.
A long walk tomorrow, some 31km and its going to be about 21C so a pleasant enough walk again.
Poor reception this evening, so had to try numerous times to post ..... so heres crossing fingers?

Today is a repeat of yesterday, just taking in the exhausted relief of other Pilgrims, the awe and excitement they have of completing the walk. Sharing stories of adventures along the path.
Amazing! Fascinating! My jadded, tarnished exterior is being polished up again ... there excitement and happiness is contagious. I am rejuvinated and ready to move on.

Not far to go today, only 3-4km so plodded of earlyish, breakfast near the Cathedral, off to the morning Mass and then line up for the compostella certificate ... should have done this prior to the Mass as it took a while.
Then lunch with a group of excited people who had just completed the Camino Frances. Maybe I was like that when I completed my first earlier in the year .... it just doesn't seem as important now, as it did then.
Well we all had a great time .... as sharing with, relying on and being relied on .... friendship is the real biggy, in my humble opinion. I've walked with others and in groups and also done the solo walk for weeks, very contemplative, also relaxing!
Will put the feet up here for a few days then move on to the end/edge of the world, Muxia, then down to Fisterre ... didn't get to spend much time there last time.

Walked some 22km today in sunny conditions, stopped about 3-4km short of the Cathedral and staying at Milladoiro, so we can arrive for Sunday Mass, clean and smelling sweet.
Saturday night is relatively quiet here, people seem more reserved, we had a pleasant meal and a very nice bottle of red then back to the room to ponder tomorrow.

Off to Caldas de Reis about 23km ... walking back inland, some hills but most following a valley, not hard walking. Its a bit cooler today barely 20C and showers and storms in the area .... luckily only had to pull the rain wear out once, it was deep in the pack after not needing it for ... I can't remember!
Caldas de Reis is only a small rural Town, plenty of good accommodation and nice restaraunts.
Theres a bit of a underlying cool breeze today so inside to eat. Getting close to Santiago de Compostela, only a couple of days walk now.

Not a biggy today .... some 18km to Pontevedra, a fairly large town , weather great today though can feel its building into a storm or something. Kept out of the busiest area, am staying in what looks like a bohemian part of town , very arty, and cosy restaurants and bars, pleasant, easy going people .... am slowly getting back to speaking some legible Spanish. Well an early night for me as feeling tired.

Up at first light and off on our trek (7am ish), not sure where to and how far we will go today, but bad weather on its way later in the week so time to hoof it.
A late breakfast in O Porrino, 15-16km down the road, arrived in Redondela, Spain about 2,30pm some 32 km from Valenca, a big walk after several days of laying about. A bit af an afternoon snack then find accommodation, clean up and crash for a couple of hours.
Back to late diners (Spain) usual language hiccups with a mix of numerous langugaes all jumbled together,coming out of my mouth ..... very amusing to the local people.
Liz and I share a huge sea food plater, washed down with a yummy dry white wine. Great night great food and good company. Room has great views over the bay and a bealcony to relax on as its still quite warm ..... this is the life ..... hope the money holds out? Checked the finances, since arriving back in April till now includig return back to Melbourne in June/July its cost me about AUD17000, not bad, 4 years ago my late wife and I did one of those river cruises, along with some extended stays and add ontours .... all up, 6 weeks about AUD50,000 ..... 5 star all the way.
Some of the places I've stayed at this time though clean may not even make 1 star ... but it has all been an experience, of which I have enjoyed.

Slept in this morning, then of to breakfast and a wander around the shops, lots of little trinkets and arty-crafty things to look at. then a pleasant afternoon sitting in the shade of an umbrella in one of the restaurants watch the passing people and just veging out .... back to the digs for an afternoon siesta and then diner at one of the more touristy restaurants with a floor show of folk dancing etc .... amusing, but a bit of a tourist trap.
Then onto a bar for night cap and back home.
On the move again tomorrow.

Sunday 16th of September 2012,
Awoke quite early to the sounds of garbage trucks picking up the evenings bottles etc, and then theres the church bells, calling people to mass. A bit hard to take, after a late night and about 3-4 hours sleep.
After breaky the Yanks said they were off to Tui on the other side of the river in Spain.
Liz and I decided to stay but move to a quieter location ... a couple of hundred metres down the road but with views over the river valley ... liked it so much decided on a 2 night stay there. Sunday is more like a family day here with a leisurely lunch after church .... a bit like the Sunday family roast back home. A walk around the walls and then a bit of a nap .... catch up on some of the sleep.
Diner then an early night, well woke a bit after midnight so thought I would catch up re blog and emails.

A pleasant days walk, temp. mid 20's as the day wore on, Stopped in Valenca (still Portugal) some 20km walking distance today ... entered the old walled city that overlooks the river and valley below .... looked more interesting than wondering on to Tui, Spain another km or so.
Found an interesting private Hostel, all brightly coloured and all six of us ... the Yanks, Liz and I staying there.
Lunch and out to explore, the town and the ramparts of the city, its massive and completely intact.
Checked out the market in the main square as well as many of the bars and cafes ... eating is good with a group of people, as lots of different dishes to taste and hands going everywhere.
Realised I had stayed here some 26 years ago whist on one of those European trips ... had a car that time and stayed at the Parador.
Think I am enjoying this time better, well different times and experiences.
We are all talking about staying another night here .... this may be the highlight town of the entire trip!!!!

Good weather again, of to Ponte de Lima, about 30km away.
It is strange coming across other pilgrims after so long on the solo walk from Madrid to Porto via Lisbon. It feels like being part of a club, even though you may not know them you chat away like long lost friends .... its, reassuring.
Great days walking, good food, great company .... over all an enjoyable day.

Walked some 26-27 km today to Barcelos ..... warm sunny conditions .... pleasant walking.
Decided a comfortable bed was the go tonight ... last night was a delight but woke up numerous times during the night with aches and pains everywhere. So a bit of luxury tonight even the en-suite, mmm.
Have come across quite a few pilgrims over the last 2 days walking the Camino ..... had forgotten what it was like after about 8 weeks of almost solo trekking. So enjoying the camaraderie of the marked (signed) Camino .... follow the yellow arrow, the scallop shell.
Was talking to a German guy that had walked for an hour or two with Liz yesterday ..... unsure if I will come across her .... as she has no phone or laptop ... have an email address, depends how often she checks? Anyway great night at the bar ... but a bit tired so didn't stay up too late. Thats why up early to catch up on blog.

Well still caught upwith friend back in Oz, back in hospital in Melbourne, very sick ... I am unhappy with our health system, to send her home when so sick then pounce on her and lock her up in an infectious control unit????? Well at least its not Yellow Fever or I would most likely be on my way home for another funeral! Though no answers to what she has ..... though it appears some liver damage due to infection. So still praying on a regular basis.
My holiday here seems so insignificant in the big picture of life.
All my love and good wishes to her, Luke xxxxxx

So arrive Cathedral about 11am, find where we have to register and then off to lunch and then off to the Alburgue ..... booked out so down the road a little and there is a lovely hostel, or room is a 4 bed dorm ... but only the 2 of us at the moment, will see later?
Usual clean off the grime of the days walk, then explore ... we have booked for 2 nights.
Late diner, a bit of a bar crawl and back to dorm, some one asleep in one of the bunks.
So will quietly sneak back into dorm and go to sleep.

Leave Ovar about 8.30am, the day is going to be a bout 30 maybe a bit more. A lot of suburban walking it seems today, guess we have reached the outer suburbs of Porto.
Luckily some of the walk is through market garden areas and parks .... we make it to Espinho (18km) a little after midday, find a comfortable restaurant where we can sit outside under an umbrella and enjoy a well deserved lunch and some wine.
Then its find accommodation and get all cleaned up and clothes washing done. We have a balcony and sit out there enjoying a beer or two and watching the world pass bye.
Check on emails .... and find a short but reassuring email from my friend saying she is weak but OK.
Hotel has a nice bar and grille, so steak for diner tonight, then off to bed for an early night.
Will need the rest as looks like we will be in Porto for the weekend.

Liz and I set off for Ovar, 16 km up the road .... there was a storm last night and it was a tad cool first thing, but turned out to be a pleasant day, weather wise.
Re news from home ... roller coaster day .... I thought all was good and carried on doing the lunch thing etc. But no, when checking new emails, turns out I was miss informed, so still praying for friend.
Not knowing anything and not being able to contact people who know what is happening, its difficult to handle. Even phoned the hospital, got the usual "she is doing as well as can be expected". Well at least I knew she was still alive.
So lots of emails from Ovar to home its now 12.30am Thursday morning and finally an email from friends partner saying he is picking her up from hospital, she is OK, but that she is still very weak and looking at several weeks or more to get back to normal, it was Yellow Fever and she is very lucky to be alive.
So can go to bed now, relieved and hopefully get some sleep.

Headed of bright and earlythe 12km to Forte da Barra and caught the ferry over to Sao Jacinto. While waiting for the ferry Liz came marching along ..... so spent the rest of the day walking walking chatting on the way to Torreira another 15km ..... made it about 3pm, weather warmish but ok.
Found accom, sharing as its a tad expensive but still more privacy than most hostels.
Cleaned up then headed out for diner, then back to bed ... twin beds, as most hotel rooms are in Europe.
A troubling email from home with a very sick friend ... hope to find out more by morning.

Up early as its going to be warm today .... I'm heading towards Gafanha da Boa Hora about 27km up the road. Flat walking for the most part and very scenic, plenty of shade ..... make good time arriving about 1pm. Its a very pretty resort town, with coloured bathing boxes along the beach.
Decide to take a rest day here and soak up some of the ambiance.
