Just thought Id update the blog even though I haven’t travelled anywhere over the past week.
Ive been cleaning the bike, washing clothes, putting on some lost weight and generally just taking it easy. Oh and of course having a look around the beautiful city that is Santiago De Compostela.
There is plenty to see as it has such a lot of historical sites, not only the cathedral. There are many museums, galleries, parks and bars to hang out in.
During the day the city is mainly buzzing with tourists and in the evening it’s alive with the large student community. When I say evening, I’m talking more early hours of the morning, these Spanish sure know how to party!
I really like it at Camping Las Cancelas. The facilities are excellent even if the pool isn’t open yet. It has a bar with free internet and it’s about a 20 minute walk from the centre. Many tourers and carav
ans come and go daily and I’ve met quite a few people here.
One German guy called Marvin had cycled from Germany. He has mainly wild camped due to his limited budget. We went for a few drinks in Santiago and chilled out one evening with some wine. Thank you to the nice Australians that leant me a stool to sit on and gave me a bowl of strawberries. Oh and Harry from Switzerland, I told you it wasn’t going to rain!
Next week I’m sharing an apartment with my fiance just down the road. I’m really looking forward to the company and some to share this lovely city with.
I have uploaded some of my photos on to facebook.
