There was not much to blog about once we left Santiago. We thought we were going to Finisterre to spend two nights by the ocean but we ended up in a lovely B&B far from the sea or any village. We took two taxi rides for food otherwise I knitted and Charlie read. Not what we were expecting and a bit of a let down but it was quiet and we did not walk!

Friday was spent waiting in the Santiago train station and traveling back to Madrid. Saturday we walked the streets of that very beautiful city and enjoyed Spanish hot chocolate and churros. We checked out

the royal palace and wandered through the Plaza Mayor. We probably should have visited a museum or taken a tour but we were in a bit of shock being surrounded by such crowds after 24 days of walking on country roads and up and down mountain trails.

This morning we headed home. First there was a two hour flight to London followed by an eight hour flight to Ottawa where Suzanne was waiting for us. Little did we know that the best part of the trip was waiting for us on Bird Street! All of the children and grandchildren were waiting to welcome us home! The perfect ending to an amazing adventure!
