Buen Camino 12: Start to finish.

What a journey it has been. So many memories - plenty of good ones with a few painful ones.
 As is so often said about what is important; he tangata, he tangata, he tangata (it is the people, the people, the people). It is the great fellow pilgrims and their friendship that is most important. Sometimes only meeting once over an evening meal or walking and sleeping together for a number of days.
I am disappointed and frustrated to have blistered so badly - but it gives me a reason to come back next year!
A smattering of photos to follow as a quick overview.

Holding my credential in St Jean.

So many churches with inspiring interiors.

Nice view from my breakfast stop.

So good to see destinations appear after a long day of walking. 

 Happy to stay in Ribadiso again.

 Walking up to the Iron Cross.

 High point of the Camino -over 1500 m.

 Some more well traveled pathways.

 The shell is a symbol for all pilgrims - with a mix of standard and funky designs.

Sunrise looking back over Portmarin valley.

Only 100km to go!

No comment necessary! !

Sometimes the bugs do strike! Not me fortunately and I didn't meet too many pilgrims who had been bugged.

 Foot massage and having dead skin cut off from blisters.

Santiago cathedral. 

I am certifiable - with compostela.
