Carnet de Voyage Day 9: Sat February 4th 2006

Today is the last day. I wake up at 8 o’clock, take a shower, pack my luggage and check-out at Tropicana. At about 9.00 am I leave the car at the rental station, a 5 minute drive from Tropicana away. I write down the mileage: 1720 miles in total (2750 km) had been driven by me in this 8 days. With the Hertz shuttle I arrive at the airport and 11.15 am I take my United flight to San Francisco. In San Francisco I arrived just in time for boarding my Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt where I got a connecting flight to Munich. I arrived the next Sunday morning 11.00 am. Cold Germany had me back.

Just after take off we made a nice turn over San Francisco .

Ready for the Road

Just finished packing my backpack. It’ weighs 7.5 kg which is pretty good considering the common recomandations not to carry more than 10kg for the Camino. I am ready to go. I will switch off my PC and have a nice dinner.   Tomoorow morning 6.30 h I will start my trip with the transfer to the Munich airport. I hope the weather will improve a little bit in Spain cause its too cold and rainy there for may right now.

Relax from Santiago: 4 days Gran Canaria

One day after arriving in Santiago de Compostella I booked a Last Minute trip to Gran Canaria (Maspalomos) in the Buenaventura Hotel. It was a good time for relaxing my feet and reflecting on the Santiago walk.

 My feet were aching in the night for 3 days.
