Day 37 - Finisterre

Today we aimed to walk out to the lighthouse at Finisterre, a three kilometre walk out of town and along the peninsula, before catching the coach back to Santiago. It was a leisurely walk in the sun along the road, high on the peninsula with views down to rocky shores and across to the mainland. We enjoyed a relaxing time pottering around the souvenir shop and the area around the lighthouse before a celebratory beer and a walk back to town for lunch and a coach to Santiago.

We are now relaxing in an apartment, the rain once again beating down outside. We have collected the bags we deposited three days ago and bought some local wine and cheese, Myra is readying herself for a 7.30am departure tomorrow and none of us are inclined to head out for dinner so we will just relax. Although Janna doesn’t leave until tomorrow evening and Gale and I have a couple of days left to explore Santiago the feeling is that my trip is clearly drawing to a close.
