Cherry on the top...

 Well, as if to end on a high note; I made it to Finisterra late this afternoon. To be sure, it was my longest Camino day; I left at 9am and didn't get here until 6 pm without stopping. It was exhausting, but so glad I came. It ended up being 54 miles of Camino pain and bliss. 

 Finisterra is a small beach town on a peninsula jutting out to the ocean. It' a working seaport that also has a bit of tourism from the Camino and others. I had a really nice seafood diner tonight after a very long hot shower. Tomorrow I'm going out to the very end of the peninsula another 3 miles where there is a lighthouse and a 5 room B&B to have a look before taking the bus back to Santiago. 

 This is exactly what I needed to finish the Camino. An exhausting day with some amazing views along the way ending up in a small quaint seaside village. I can say I'm done now... Somehow, ending up at Lands End and the sea did it. 

Buen Camino!
