Mexico Pr Santiago de Compostela

The other two tours in Madeira and Lanzzarrotte we planned well in advance, but the trip to Santiago de Compostela was a last minute decision based on the recommendation of the two couples who we had the pleasure of dining with on the cruise. I'm glad we decided to go. It was quite a long drive, but well worth the effort. We walked around the oldest part of the town where the ...

... blast beautiful chords on occasion. We kept reminding ourselves that we were walking on top of a<br>building that has no beams or steal for support&#8230;&#8230;and built sometime in the<br>middle ages. Yikes. I&#8217;m attaching some photos, but don&#8217;t<br>want to miss getting a lay of the land here in Barcelona. Should have some photos of great<br>architecture while here.<br><br>Hasta&#8230;..<br><br><!-- EndFragment--><br><br>

... the city which contains all the old buildings and churches is pedestrianised and huddles round the grand cathedral. The Cathedral is vast and very ornate. The guide books say that is best seen in the rain so that all the lichens and mosses are highlighted. The weather duly obliged!<br><br>The car has decided to have a sick day and has gone to the Ford dealer to recuperate! We collect it tonight and move on to Portugal in the morning.

... our own bathroom and a room to ourselves. Also had awonderful meal served by a grandpa who reminded Shawn and I of Oscar. He went out of his way to solve our language barrier and also pured soup over sara´s arm and went to get a wet cloth to wipe it up - he was so cute. Mary here--I seem to be the only one the bed bugs are drawn to ,no one else has been bitten,except for the fact ...

... We literally see no one and hear nothing, and everything looks to be closed. We finally find one club that has someone in the door, and they tell us they don't open until 4am. DON'T OPEN UNTIL 4AM?! WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS?! We run into 2 British kids on the street and go to some random dance place with them, were the DJ plays music from Grease, obviously causing a spontaneous dance party. Around 4:30, it is still empty, so we decide to just leave and go to bed. <br>

... and when the sculptor sent his finished work to the bishop, the bishop was displeased with the statue's ample bosom, saying it was inappropriate for a cathedral. So, the sculptor gave her a reduction and she was placed in the cathedral. However, the cheesemakers of Galicia were displeased with the bishop's decision, and decided that they would make the signature cheese of Galicia boob-shaped in the statue's honor. Gotta love the badass cheese-makers of 15th century ...

... pense qu'il y aurait plus de monde, c'etait plutot desert. Je n'ai pas tellement ressenti d'emotions non plus, je me serais attendu a sauter de joie ou bien ressentir une certaine peine... C'est peut-etre parce que je sais que je n'ai pas vraiment fini de marcher. Il y avait quelques pelerins qui etaient a Santiago depuis 1 ou plusieurs jours qui m'ont felicite d'etre arrive. On m'a ensuite amene a l'endroit pour que je ...

... fra l'altro) siamo stati graziati e abbiamo anche visto un raggio di sole. E un cavallo che si rotolava nell'erba, che non guasta mai... Dopo la cattedrale siamo andati a ritirare la Compostela, il documento che attesta il pellegrinaggio, mentre abbiamo scoperto che la messa per i pellegrini si tiene a mezzogiorno... e io domani a mezzogiorno saro' di nuovo in cammino per l'ultima e finale meta del mio viaggio. Quella che ...

... Our precious little Islam teacher lead the way (not surprisingly) We went to 4 different bars all together and the teachers stayed with us until nearly 4. Not bad at all. Our other friends met up with us along the way. Before I knew it, it was 6 am and Me,Vera, Rory, some pilgrim we picked up we all back at my piso getting me ready to peace out! No tears were allowed. I woke Kelsey up to say good bye and ...

... US$25 each No-one is waiting at the gate with a sign for us, but after we emerge from the luggage area, we see the same woman and daughter coming toward us. We hand over the snorkelling gear, explain the missing snorkel valve, and part on good terms, having recovered our deposit credit card impression.. We talk to them about the problem of storing our luggage for a few hours, as we have a seven-hour wait for our flight to Madrid. Thought there was an off-chance of ...
