    We have made it. I don't know about anyone else but all my aches were worse for the final few Kilometres. It was like my body knew. A little later we were able to walk a few kms to the McDonald's as their treat! We are then going back for the St James festivities. Buen Camino all!

    Following the slower day, we have really pushed on. 25km yesterday and 33km today. On the Saturday we went past the Albergue where my dad died but decided not to make too much of a big deal with the owners. It has been a good number of years and it would have been unfair to bring up what must...

    Our first difficult day. Eldest son had a big blister where his toes meet his feet and my left knee decided to show its age. We hobbled to Portomarin across that great bridge and up those stairs. Never have stairs looked so imposing!! We took a private room, visited the pharmacy all before 11am...

    Our day today was marked by the wildlife. Misty, cloudy start. 2 weasels or stoats (Black and otter like) were our first delight. Later we were blessed with Eagles and Storky bird things. Goats, several cats and a puppy all played there part today. Our plan was a private room tonight but one of...

    The path wasn't marked. The views were worth it though! The lack of water would have been an issue so we headed back to the main path. We had read a book that suggested Dragante by Sandy Brown. We would have another go but would need a map or Google maps to be safe. Also need to plan more water...

    Day 3 began at just after 6am. Tito from the albergue left out some cake and juice to getvus going. 10k mostly uphill before breakfast with another amazing sight. The photos will never do it justice but the islands in the clouds made up for the burning calfs and sore shoulders!!! Finished the...

    Today we set off at 5:30 and headed up to Dragante. 7km uphill and found a viewing spot with infinity swings to see in the sunrise. Mastercard can't buy that view! Got a bit lost but after 30km we are settled in a French Bar in La Faba. Find out in a bit if we sleep here.

    Good first day, if a little hot and late in the day. Plenty of space in the municipal in Villafranca de Bierzo.

    Well, we are finishing our packing and heading to the airport at 4am tomorrow. Arriving in Santiago at lunch. Car hire for a day to take us to Ponferrada. 10 days to make it back to Santiago. Thanks for the advice etc all.

    Great tips. I am thinking about the distance that we could do. Looking st about 10 days and the wife is a worrier, hence the shorter initial plan.
