Well today was our last day on the Camino 
and we walked about 5 hours to get to Santiago. The trail became very crowded and there were a lot of groups all heading into the city. The mood became festive with singing and cheering. Everyone seemed eager to get to the end. And then suddenly you could see the city and we stopped at the pilgrim monument just before the city to take it all in. We arrived at the square in front of the church and it was great to watch the people. Some had walked 800km and were on the trail for over 30 days. As for me, I am glad to finish our 113km but also a little sad to say goodbye to the people in our group. We are a group of 13 people that have bonded over the journey. You get the opportunity to walk and talk with everyone. We were usually out about 8 hours a day so there was plenty of time to get to know everyone. We took our pictures and then head back to the hotel for a shower. Now we will do what all pilgrims do. We will get our Compostela (ours will be written in Latin), go to the pilgrims mass at the cathedral (this mass is all in Spanish), hug the statue of St James, buy our Camino trinkets have one last supper with the gang and then off to bed. One more thing on our bucket list has been accomplished!
If you are interested in experiencing the Camino de Santiago for yourself I would strongly recommend working with G Adventures. Our agents would love to help you with all of your travel arrangements.
