The certificates

It was a very emotional experience to walk up to the Cathedral at the end if my walk. I know I didn't do 800 km but I walked 120.. Every inch was a journey on its own.





Morgan was beside himself with excitement as we went to collect our scrolls. I have to admit tears as well. This journey marks the end if many things for me.. And I grieve the passing... But must have faith in the opportunities I am now presented with.


Last day photos

Too tired to explain too much, but these are photos along the way on our last day.

Lots of exhausted pilgrims. So incredible to walk into town and be clapped and cheered. I feel so proud of the boys.. I hope this holds Morgan in good stead for the rest of his life.











Well earnt beers

Not much else to say really. Got in at 3.30.. Very tired..

This is what 120 km looks like

Only on this last day, did I get blisters. Very glad not to have to my boots on this morning.



Last Day!!!

Oh my.. Because we are so close to Santiago, people started waking and rattling their bags at 4 am. They wanted to get to the Cathedral for the Pilgrims mass at midday. We have just under 18 km to go, with a few steep hills but lots of flats.. Thank goodness. We were walking by 6.30, still dark... Everyone in our albourge had ling since left. This is a photo of our first marker along the way
