Today we had to say goodbye to Anica and Henry, a lovely couple from Berlin who had been in the family for a week. They are doing the Camino in sections and had done the final part to Santiago last year. Anica has the nicest German accent I've ever heard and I could listen to her talking all day. Henry's use of English was quite colorful and he gave us a lot of laughs. We're going to miss them but we had a great last day together after arriving in Sarria. At lunch we had toasted their departure with a few shots of local coffee liqueur so no siesta required today. Then we found ourselves a very cosy antiquated Albergue where just two other Japanese men were staying.
In the evening we walked for miles in the rain so Damien could find a Pharmacy and stock up on compeed for his feet. Spain does have a high density of pharmacies but not many are open on a Saturday evening. Anica had spent some time studying in Spain and got us onto Cañas which is a small beer that comes with a Tapas. She told us they were invented to stop postmen getting too drunk.
