Finisterre and Muxia

I always wonder coming in to Santiago whether we will meet the people that we travelled along the Camino with---and we did---some we expected we might meet like Dennis and Robert and Reece and Ray and Pura and some surprises that we didn't expect to see again---Sylvia and Vikki andChris and Marina and Val. We had a lovely dinner on our last night there with Sylvia and Vikki and Chris and Robert who we had the closest connections with. And we saw the incense burner swing and I was in awe again---one of the wonders of the Camino. Out to Finisterre by bus---a delightful fishing village where we had a fabulous seafood dinner for $50 for 2 of us and had a picnic with Marina and Marika---met both at Astorga---at sunset out on the cape where the lighthouse is. Quite a buzz out there at sunset---followed by a 4 km walk back into town!!! Had 2 nights there and then 2 nights in Muxia---another fishing village where we have had another 2 days of resting and sleeping and going out to the church and lighthouse---a much more dramatic scene here with waves crashing onto the rocks and a 300 year old church only metres from the waves.Such a wonderful way to finish off the Camino. A lot of pilgrims---1000 this month walk to these 2 villages---another 5-6 days walk but it was totally beyond us. We struggled to walk to the bus that brought us out. Back to Santiago today and Paris tomorrow and back to Sydney next Thursday night.
