Day 29 - Pontevedra

I'm finally out of bed.  The pain is almost gone. I can walk!!!

We went out for a typical Spanish breakfast; a croissant and infusion (herbal tea).  Then we walked to the bus terminal, about one and a half kilometres.  We wanted to check on the schedule of buses to Santiago de Compostela for tomorrow.

The plan is to go tomorrow to Santiago, on Sunday travel to Barcelos, and on Thursday to Porto so we can take our early flight home on Friday.  No more walking long distance with backpack.  Really, a vacation.

Of course we have given up on trying to get the Compostela, the pilgrim certificate.  We do have our pilgrim's credential with the stamps from all the places we visited. And we know that even if we did not walk the last 100 kilometres, we are real pilgrims (we did walk over 300 km).

Now, in a few minutes we will go to Mass to the church of Our Lady Peregrina.  We will ask for her protection and help.

And we will be able to pray for each of our family and friends at the cathedral of the apostole Santiago el Mayor tomorrow at the evening pilgrim's Mass.
