Green Galician hills

We are now 2 days away from our goal, having walked through countryside that is very reminiscent of Devon, rich green grass, old stone dwellings, many dating back centuries. A lot of pilgrims are now on the route having joined near the end. They are easily recognisable - they are very energetic, seem to be skipping along and carry tiny rucsacs. We are now met by taxis at the top of every hill, eager to whisk the tired pilgrim off to the next town. Needless to say the writer says: "Get ye behind me Satan"! and points to Heaven when the driver asks if we want a lift. We are both very tired now and our speed is slowing down, but will march into Santiago in a style that befits the English trekker.

Last post on 21st April.

To everybody who has followed our exploits we can elaborate on any areas.

Photos will also be posted when we return home.
