We slept in, having had both a pitcher of sangria and a bottle of wine the night before, and knowing we weren’t going to try for the 27km into Santiago today ie a “light” day was in store. Our first coffee was spent watching the sun rise. I am going miss the quiet solitude of mornings like this. 
The terrain was pretty similar to the last few days. It was so misty that felt like we were being aerated. Trees were also dropping so much dew I thought it was raining. I kept my gloves on til noon, and welcomed the cooler temperature. 
Many roosters let us know of their presence, but not all went to the same yodelling school – Don pointed out some were vastly inferior in their calls.
At the end of our lunchtime break for a bocadillo (cheese and tomato sandwich), The Proclaimers “500 Miles” came on overheard. Perfect!
The last few days the pilgrims have really thinned out. Because we opted to stay in smaller towns, we’re a bit offset from the popular stops. It’s great not to be walking in mobs like we were when we initially hit the 100km marker. And blissful to pass the marker letting us know it was less than 20km to Santiago. Who doesn’t love Don in socks and sandals?? 
We also haven’t seen anyone we know in a few days although have bumped into a German foursome for the past two days and found them at the same hotel trying to get a room. As we disappeared in the elevator, Don thought he heard the receptionist say something negative about room availability. I guess we’ll know later on.
Only 10 or 12km into Santiago. Our plan is an early start and arrive by mid-morning!
