Camino de Santiago 2011

800km later and into Santiago we walked, well skipped really! It was so exciting to finally get to the Cathedral and to complete our journey. It was not without a few tears too, as we each realised this was the end of our indiviudal journeys and also of our journey together as a group.  I for one, was keen to keep everyone together for a long as possible and to enjoy one or two more glasses of wine!

The final 3 weeks, were as equally fantastic as the first two.   The landscape ever changing, from Meseta desert to pine forests, to busy cities of Leon and Astorga, the sleeping villages of Belorado, Samos and Villafranca and the Galicia region of rain and oak trees, reminding me of England!!  Rugby was a big part of the journey too, with my French pilgrims very happy with their team getting  to the world cup final.

There was quite a group of us towards the end and I miss them all!

I did manage to take some pictures, enjoy!
