52 km to Santiago de Compostela
Today was a beautiful day, maybe the warmest so far with lots of sun. Even though our walk was short it was tough. The guide shows it as a fairly flat stage but it does not say we are crossing Galician hills. Up and down, up and down. Pretty tiring indeed.
The fields are now in full spring splendour. Fresh spring greens in the fields and in the trees and spring flowers of every kind all around us. We just had to stop often and admire the views, the flowers, everything (and also to catch our breath).
As for pilgrims we saw Annette from Denmark a couple of times, Johannes from Holland several times and more groups of teens including a group of Scouts (not boy scouts since they included a bunch of girls). The Camino is busier indeed.
We arrived at 2 pm to Arzua, lunch and rest and then we attended palm Sunday mass.
My face while more colourful looks better, some of the scabs are starting to fall and the swelling is down
A regular day in the Camino. We are just getting more anxious to finish the journey but we don't want to arrive before Wednesday.
Santiago one of the first apostles, the first one to suffer martyrdom. Please help us to get closer to Our Lord Jesus this holy week that starts today. Santiago pray for us.
