Oh Yeah!!!! Living large in Santiago!!




We made it to Santiago de la Compostella about 12noon. We´ve got a great pension above all the bars/cafes. This town is unreal, I´ve never seen so many Bars/cafes/restaurants, hundreds of them! So many impressive historical buildings. So far all we´ve done is pick up our compostella certificate and eaten (mejillones, sardinas, pulpo, chorizo al vino and sopa de pescado - seafood every where you look). Ran into Liverpool boy who had arrived the day before! Irish boy (Adrian) walked in with us. Time to do some serious relaxing, siesta first then sight seeing and more eating and drinking (we´ll soon put back that weight- Ray lost about 8.5kg while I only lost about 5.5kg). We have until Monday night to enjoy Santiago and then it´s night train to Madrid and a plane back home.

  2. Well you achieved what you set out to do and gave us a brief overview of the history along the way it has been a great read and we hanker for more. The cats won the flag in an epic struggle a great watch for spectators.
    enjoy the rest of your travels
    keep safe
    love

  3. Congratulation to the both of you!
    Looks like you've been through something most
    people will only dream of experiencing.
    Looking forward to your return.
    Onward to 2011.

    Jason.

  4. Bells and balloons and keys to the city!
    Could you have ever imagined such a thing twelve months ago?
    We're looking forward to the stories, and more photos.
    Hope you enjoyed/enjoy the sights and tastes of Santiago.
    love Kerry
