This morning, we left Arzua and we’re doing about 16 kilometres to Rua and that will leave us two more days to get to Santiago, two more easy days, 16 kilometres to Lavacolla, and then a short 10 kilometre day to Santiago. Unfortunately, I think our final two days will be raining, but we’ve been very lucky with the weather so far, so we can’t complain.
It’s funny how the Camino will work its magic if you let it. I’m not sure how many days we’ve been walking at 7 or 8, you tend not to bother counting when you spend your day just putting one foot in front of the other and enjoying the journey.
We decided to leave Lavacolla early, to get ourselves the best chance of making the midday mass in Santiago. Given this is Pat’s first Camino, we wanted to be able to have the opportunity to go to as many masses as possible, so that at least she’d have a chance of seeing the Botafumeiro swing. We actually got up at 5:30 am, as breakfast in the hotel was served from 6.
