Distance travelled : 809 kms

Our final day. An easy walk in mist and arriving in Santiago in sunshine, miraculously meeting up with
many we have travelled with, particularly since Gijon.
Early morning breakfast in Pedrouza
Immediately on to forest paths
Friends in the mist
We walk together
Lots of philosophical graffiti. This one "always be yourself".
Some traditional way markers. This one is 10 kms to Santiago.
Roland and his wife. The couple from the Deux-Cheveux scenario.
It was like finishing a good book today. You are looking forward to the ending but regretting
finishing the great story. We seem to delay more at every stop, savouring the last hours.
Arriving in the outskirts of Santiago.
Our first glimpse of the cathedral.
Arriving in the cathedral square.
We can't believe it!
Waiting for our Compostela after showing our full credential with all our sellos.
Our credential.
More unexpected faces.
Receiving our Compostelas.
Mark emerging with his Compostela.
My Compostela.
The pilgrim mass at 7.30 pm in the cathedral.
Buzzing cafes and restaurants in this beautiful medieval city.
Buskers.
And then at 10 pm Mark and I had dinner. Totally on Spanish time!

Hi Meg and Mark! It's the Kaponays from Australia! We have been following your blog eagerly and have been having a lot of fun spotting the same places you have taken photos of! Today was the day that we made it to Santiago as well! After 822 kilometers we are happy to have reached the end! We trust you are having an awesome time walking the European Peace Walk! We will keep reading your blog posts. We are working to update Reka's blog as soon as possible so check it out sometime soon to see some of the photos we took of our times together. Much love from all of us, Reka, Lalika, Bobi and George.
