    Wet credential

    I walked from Lisbon to Santiago- got the short straw with some young buck at the stamp office and apparently I didn’t get enough stamps on the last 100km bit. I mean seriously? The book was full. What an appalling situation. Refused to give me the certificate ( which wasn’t the point of the...
