We made it to Santiago, and after two days of rest (and eating and showering), we got up and set out for Finisterre, 90k past Santiago. This is the westernmost point of Europe, and the furthest a pilgrim could therefore go. This is a little debateable, but the yellow arrows pointed that way, so 3 days of walking later, we watched the sunset over the ocean. It felt like a good end to our trip.
We hadn´t planned on this added leg, but we are glad that we did it. It feels more complete now.

Finisterre: because sometimes, walking 500 miles just isn't quite far enough.
It's OK to stop now. You've proven that you can do it.
Did you all rec'v a prize for completing the pilgrimage? Is that what those official looking documents are that I see pictured in your photo album? Well, if I had know that a certificate was involved, I would have walked it, too!
Those official-looking documents are called compostellas. They entitle us to get out of 1/2 of our purgatory time...for free!! yahoo!
walk 100k on the camino, and you can have one too.
