Our day in Santiago
After somewhat enjoying our complimentary continental breakfast (still can't figure out how/why food is left at room temperature all day - even things like yogurt, milk, cheese, ham....), we headed back to the Old Towne to meet our friends.

Was definitely a bad idea as my feet are still killing. Goodness knows how people walk the whole Camino from France to North West Spain in 30 days. I sure as hell wont be doing ...
