Today we had a lye in! :O (Til 8.30am!)
We begun our day with breakfast and I was finally (for the first time in a month) able to have a CUP OF TEA! It was great!
We then went into the Cathedral once again and went to ´hug the apostle St.James´ which is a tradition of pilgrims from very early times. This was a weird moment but felt like we were completing the pilgrims traditions. We then went below the alter to see the tomb of St.James and there was a very beautiful silver coffin which is eledgedly holding the bones of St.James. This is the orriginal purpose of the Camino de Santiago.
Then we went for a browse round the shops, it was nice to be relaxed about our day for a change. After a cheap lunch (ie. burger, fries and large coke for less than €5!) we went and got some frozen yoghurt (mmmm yum!) and went and sat in the Cathedral square again. Its lovely to watch pilgrims enter and all hug each other and take funny pictures in front of the imposing building!
Tomorrow we begin our walk to Finisterre which I am somewhat dreading as is rather hilly and apparently quite stenuous. Anyways, I shall also blog about this stretch too so keep checking :)
