Monday 30th June 2014...Camino Day 27!!!

Another really good sleep on another really comfy bed and did not wake up till 7.30am and it was a nice feeling to know I did not have to load up the pack and start walking!!!!! Polama was making my breakfast but i knew she had to go to work so i said thanks but i would fix myself some eggs and then i washed their dishes from last night and she was thrilled that I had done that...Diego then brought the bike over for me to borrow and they were both out of the door off to work!!!! I two more cups of tea packed a lunch and was out of the door by 9.30am..... This is your lucky day it is a while since i have offered the totally free, yes you read it right, totally free famous Pearson escorted and narrated guide this time with a twist instead of walking we are going on the bike!!! So grab a drink sit down and enjoy the last day by the ocean as usual tips are welcome if you enjoy the trip if you don't they are welcome anyway!!!! It was about 12km ride but instead of taking the main highway I took the coastal paths and a few scenes along the way...don't you just love this baby's eyes!!! I enjoyed the bike a long time since I have ridden and guess who would have loved to be here with me on hers???? The sign which means Cathedral so sit back and enjoy!!! So now you have some work to do before I show you the next 2 photos...please go to you tube and select amazing grace by bagpipes and turn up the volume and listen.....some of you know this is one of my favorite hymns and it was my Grandma's best so listen to the tune and keep it in your head.... So I am walking on the beach seeing these amazing rock formations when i see this cave like formation and I hear music coming out of the cave I get closer and it is the sound of a bagpipe playing Amazing Grace it was surreal and a goose bump moment...I go further into the cave and see this one of those you just had to be there moments!! This was a very busy tourist stop hard to get a photo without another person in it!!! I really enjoyed the walk and the sights I then came up to the top and walked along the cliff face and found a perfect spot for lunch!!! Then it was the bike ride back and when i got into town stopped at the grocery store for some food for tonight and tomorrow and was home by 4pm. I pampered myself with a long hot bath whilst listening to music on my Nexus and drinking OJ!!!! After the bath it was time for some lovely rice pudding before i went to the bar around the corner again and watched the France V Nigeria game which ended in a win for France.....so now back home with tea and a salad and really enjoyed this special day!!! This was my last beach day as now I turn south and a bit west and head down towards Santiago and back on with the shoes tomorrow morning. I briefly saw Polama and Diego this evening they are leaving for a holiday to Amsterdam tomorrow I thanked them for all their kindness to me and I shall not forget my stay with them. Things I learned today.... I really care for the ocean. I missed walking. I miss seeing Eliza and our talks....see what you missed by going the other way!!!. I have special friends. The sunshine brightens my soul!!! Yashi Kochi!!!
