Today I walked the most delightful walk on a peaceful, shady walk to Samos where I met up with Ricardo again. Galicia is so beautiful - just like walking through Scotland or parts of KZN.
We are staying in the monastery - lol. It is very spartan but will be a good experience.
This afternoon we went on a tour of the monastery.
It is dedicated to St. Benedict who is the patron saint of Europe. Now you know Andrew :-)
Tomorrow we walk through Sarria on to Barbadelo, just 5 kms on th eother side of Sarria. Sarria marks the 100km that one has to walk in order to get a Compostella in Santiago.
I probably have only another 5 days to walk till I reach Santiago, so I am planning on maybe continuing to walk to Finisterre as I don catch the train from Santiago to Madrid until the 16th.
Hi Stew
ReplyDeleteDid you see my comment below? Is it not possible to change your train ticket to an earlier time if you are walking at a much faster pace than you initially thought?
