Into Galicia

We continue our travels along the North Spanish coast moving into Galicia in the far North West.

Cathedral Santiago De Compostela

Up until now all of the campsites we have stayed have been virtually empty with no more than 3 other campers on site and sometimes us alone. However earlier in the week we stopped at Santiago De Compostela and things were much busier with vans from all over Europe full of pilgrims visiting the town.

Internet connections have been sparse over the past few days so we have had to really on a shortwave radio if we want any news in English, although bizarrely we can only get Australian radio in the morning and Chinese and Romanian radio in the evenings, however we have so far learned all about photo bombing in China and sign language in Papua New Guinea.

We (I) have made some modifications to our fridge! The fridge has a freezer tray however because it is open to the main body of the fridge it is of limited use, so I purchased a thermal camping mat and with those universal save the day items of duct tape and cable ties fashioned a door for the freezer section. I faced much derision from Sharon as I completed this task, however with the prospect of storing Magnum ice creams the idea was deemed not so stupid! With the new door in place 6 mini Magnum new crème brulee flavour (highly recommended) were purchased. Unfortunately door was not as effective as hoped requiring all six to be eaten consecutively!

After leaving Santiago De Compostela , fuelled by Magnums, we made our way across to Cabo Fisterra, purported to be the most westerly point in Europe (although we understand a cape in Portugal has a similar claim).
