The final last 17km went rather fast, raining as per the norm now, once we set off there was no stopping us!
Getting in to soaking shoes at the start of the day was less than pleasant but some of us were more creative lining them with black rubbish sacks etc...
Starting through some forrests we continued on past the last of the markerstones that had become part of our daily routine..
.. before hitting our first glance of Santiago at Monte del Gozo.. 4km to go, yet so surreal after thinking about arriving here for the past 5 weeks...
Walking into the square in front of the cathedral the rain stopped and the sun came out for a whole 2 or 3 minutes... neither of us could believe we had arrived, and kept on questioning how on earth we got here?
In some ways it seems like a year ago that we set out, however only 33 days on foot and 800km were completed.. Time to rest some weary feet..
This is shortly followed up by an urgent trip to the hairdressers where 'Madre Dia' was exclaimed when the girl washing Isabels hair realised just how many knots there were.. 2 hairdressers and 1 painful hour later all was resolved..
And finally.. time for some celebratory drinks, and what better place than the local Irish bar!
