Day 27 - Sarria

Well I took the longer route today, past the monsestery in samos. We didn´t go in because it was 3 euros and it was all in spanish, but it was a wonderful sight from the outside. I´m now only 110ish km from santiago, but I think I will goto finisterre, I think i would regret having walked 7/8 of the way across spain and not finishing the job off.

I´m yet to get a blister, so it seems like im missing out on the camino experience. Just to force it i´ve been too lazy today to wash my socks for the second day running (Well yesterday it was because we slept in the church of Triacastila and there was no wash basin...) so if i´m going to get blisters, tomorrow will be the
day.

I still don´t quite know what to do when i finish. but my mother has helped by telling me i can fly to frankfurt from santiago, I guess I can head from franfurt to berlin by train or bus. But i´ll investigate other options too probably when i hit santiago in 5-6 days.

Yesterday sleeping in the church was quite a story. The Xunta albergue was full and they wouldn´t let us sleep on the floor. My friends refused to pay 7 euros for the private ones. My book said that the xunta one had overflow accomodaton in the church. They denied this, but after sending 2 of the girls off to talk to the minister of the church, he said he´d concider it after the mass. In the end he let us, but he wrote down all the passport details of the males - apparently females were ok...

Anyway, i´ve run out of time.
