[QUOTE="Tia Valeria, post: 321507, member: 6537"] [U][B]May 31st - Sigueiro to Santiago:-[/B][/U] At one point we thought that we might have to split this final stage in two but our feet recover each day so we decided that we would much rather walk right through as planned. Perseverance and determination win the day. We left Sigueiro at 8.10, after breakfast, with plenty of water and some food. A cool start again and damping slightly as we walked up the first hill so it was ponchos on, then off but we kept the pack covers on. The tracks today were kind to our feet again although finally we were walking on tarmac. There is a good bar just past the back entrance to the San Vicente (it might even be shared with them) so we went for drinks. Really good coffee :), some places it has been far too strong for either of us this time :(. We saw the lone peregrino fromMeson Novo twice during the day, once here in the bar, but only one other peregrino. Our socks were slipping so we sat by a field side to eat our croissants and changed socks completely. We did not intend to get blisters at this stage!! It was 13.30 when we finally reached Santiago, the queue was out to the street so we skipped the Pilgrim's Office and went to our hotel (booked with our ferry crossing). Lunch, siesta then back up to Rúa do Vilar. The queue was not too long so we joined it and were registered and received our Compostelas as May pilgrims. A great sense of relief - we made it; achievement too - we had walked 280kms in all from Ribadeo round the coast and then the Inglés; and gratitude - for all the kindess we have met on the way, the prayers of folk supporting us and last (but not least) our family for only expecting occasional contact and believing that 'no news is good news'.
