Today was the last full walking day.  Our destination Sante Irene was in striking distance of Santiago.  I had stayed at the Albergue a couple of times before and knew it would be a good spot to be one of our final Albergues.

We seemed to be getting tireder and tireder as the the days went on and although we were reducing our daily mileage, the second half of the day's walking always seemed as hard.

We stopped off at Salceda on the way which is an unusual Hippy type cafe where they encourage you to graffiti and leave T-shirts which they hang from the ceiling.

We reached Sante Irene Albergue and took the last three places there. Maybe Eila was right to have Albergue Anxiety.

Buen Camino.
