A long tiring walk of 27 kms today, 28th June 2010, my 65th birthday! For a birthday treat Ana Maria arranged for a car to collect us from the Camino and take us to a nice hotel in a nearby town, complete with jacuzzi! Such luxury for a poor old peregrino! Such a devoted wife!
There have been thousands of birthday greetings from all over the world (well, a handful at least!) and it´s been a very nice day. Many thanks to the many who did phone or text or sent emails - it´s good to know so many people care.
The weather was rather hot and humid today with temperatures of around 28 degrees with the result that even the excellent wicking properties of our "technical" shirts failed to make the grade!
Still, the scenery was once more delightful, although a few very steep hills had us gasping for breath at times! Photos will need to wait for another day as we have experienced some "technical difficulties" and no- I am not drunk! (photos now posted!)
There are now some 40 kms to Finisterre, the end of our charity walk. All being well we will be there in two days. After that we will decide whether or not to carry on to Muxia and La Coruña.
How does it feel to be 65? Only my left foot feels 65, the rest of me is still in the mid forties!
Does this mean I am entitled to a state pension now - fantastic. The drinks are on me!
