Onto finnisterre by bus
We slept in and had a great hotel buffet breakfast before going to mass in the Santiago cathedral. After mass and a good look round Santiago we went to the bus station where we caught the bus to finnisterre. The journey is only 90km by foot but a three hour bus ride. We arrived and found an albergue to stay in and then went for a walk to the lighthouse ...

We were very comfortable with ourselves attempting this trip until we got off the TGV at the wrong station St Pierre Des Corp. We ...

Bistro underplays this little place as its cuisine was more ...

After meeting Gerard and Mela at Gerard's Gervaise family farm, being shown around and then having a delicious Gerard and Mela produced lunch, we were taken to our first chateau, Chambord. It was so grand!
Over the next few days, we visited ...
