A day for surprises, attended the pilgrim mass at the cathedral and believe it or not Douglas had recognised Jean Pierre who we had walked with 2 years ago a very emotion experience. He was with his wife and was meeting some pilgrims that had just completed the Norte Camino. Such a fabulous surprise tears all round. Looking forward to our celebratory dinner at the Parador to night. Will be saying farewell to Colleen as she flys out early in the morning.
