Camino Blog – Day 34

Gonzar to San Xulian

Welcome to this Camino Blog. If you are new it might be best to start with the introduction. Otherwise, carry on
Location: San Xulian

Distance: 20.4km – 711.4km total. 

Weather: overcast but stayed fine

Terrain: Another easy walking day by farms and on tracks next to the road.

Physical condition:Okay.  

Accommodation: So this looks like a nice place (another guest declared that this was the cleanest place they had stayed which is saying something) but the guy running it is one of those frustratingly nice, but hopelessly inefficient type of people. The German within me is getting grumpy.

Other: So an interesting dynamic has emerged. Some pilgrims are not finishing their walk at Santiago but carrying on another 100km or so to Finisteria. At the time this walk started this was literally the end of the world. 

I am finding that as we get closer to the end of our walk both of us are starting to check out and our thoughts are moving on to the next part of the trip. If we had been carrying on then this part would most likely have been delayed until the Finisteria leg. Psychologically this may have been a better way to end. Oh well, another time.

SB 10: There is nothing you have done, are doing, or will do that will deserve this. It is simply given! All you can do is accept.

-There is nothing I can do to deserve this. All I can do is accept.

Pictures 

Not many photo opportunities today so I thought you might like to see a sticker chart for grown ups. This is what we have to fill in to get our certificate at the end. From here on we have to get at least two a day.
