Nearing Santiago
Less than 30km to go now for Santiago. Enjoyed today's pleasant walk very much, largely through forest. Arrived early in Arzua and soon passed through. Was hoping I wouldn't have to walk all the way to Arca, and was lucky. Found a hotel just off the Camino that has a small albergue. Real Towel provided. Heaven. I was a bit lucky to get the last albergue bed, as most people 'in the know' have reserved to stay here. Sun is shining and there is even a goldfish pond to enjoy.
People are all anticipating their arrival in Santiago with excitement. Rain is forecast: will I need to buy an umbrella?
Wasn't sure what would happen in Santiago as the place seems quite full on my arrival, but found a flyer on the track, and the kind lady here has reserved three nights for me.
So, tomorrow it's the last long walk to Monte de Gozo. Will do my laundry I hope, then walk into the Cathedral the next morning, the 21st.
