The fog lifted this morning, both in my head and also from Muxia. Phyllis and Dot went to watch the sunrise. I slept in- still tired after the migraine. The bus trip back to Santiago went without incident this time and we spent the day wandering the laneways, eating and drinking. Dot left for the …
Quick Update Before Dinner
Yes, I had a migraine today. I'm lucky though because they don't knock me flat. I lose my vision for half an hour or so and I'm just left with a foggy sort of headache. Seems that I am not alone, as Muxia today is wrapped in a heavy blanket of fog as well! We …
Finisterre to Muxia
"The WiFi it’s just like spanish people..... some times works right away.... other times goes very slow and have to wait long time.... and other times it doesn’t work at all" Gonzalo posted this on my page the other day...so true!! I just haven't bothered writing blogs this time because the signal has been too …
Tonight I Went to Heaven
Today was fun....a rest day in beautiful Santiago. We arrived yesterday and checked in to San Martin Pinario (the monastery). It is the favored place to stay for most pilgrims and has an awesome atmosphere. As we walked around the cloister on the huge bricks that have been worn smooth over centuries, the Celtic folk …
Frustrated with the internet
A couple of my ladies aren't well so the rest of the group walked on and we taxied forward a little bit to cut the distance for the day. We enjoyed a quick wander around the turrets of the castle, enjoyed the view, had a coffee and then moved on. Katy and meWe ended up …

OMG
Don't know what's going on in the universe at the moment! Katy was stuck in the airport for 8 hours with cancelled flights, then ended up finding a haunted attic room at 2am. She messaged me that they provided a toothbrush-so at least she has clean teeth....no luggage because the airline can't find it, but …
Oh No!!!!
Our first hiccup has come along in the form of a huge blockage for my esteemed co-leader of the group. Katy and her husband have been travelling around Spain a bit beforehand but when they got to the airport to fly to our meeting point, everything unraveled! Flight delayed, Missed connecting flight, 6 hour wait …
Pinch me!
Well the wedding was absolutely perfect and I'm thrilled that James and Chelsea are so happy. I am really lucky that my kids have partners that I love as much as my own. It was an emotional time and although in true fashion, I livened up the wedding with a series of blunders and perhaps …
