Day 27 - The Final Countdown

We officially hit the 100km mark today and discussions around reaching Santiago are intensifying! The family is now the Damien, Todd,  Neringa,  Christian,  Barbara (Hungarian Cardiologist) and Swiss Maria. So far we have been unable to decide what date to roll in. Some want to arrive Tuesday evening but I had in my mind arriving Wednesday midday so there is a strong possibility we will have to split up.

I don't know if we are getting deliriously tired now or this is just a sign of our closeness but conversations are becoming more and more surreal. Today we pondered on whether we would date a siamese twin if one was our perfect match and the other really, really awful. It's a tricky one, eh?! I'm giving myself untill Santiago to decide (only three more sleeps!)

The rain continues to be on and off but not constant so you don't end up being too soggy. I have been kicking myself for not bringing the poncho I got for Christmas but luckily Damien had a spare which is essentially a plastic bag with a hood but makes a big difference.

Tonight I rejoined a French  girl who I was with right at the start but haven't seen for three weeks. It was great to catch up and compare experiences. Hopefully we will arrive in Santiago together.

This flight of steps lended itself well to a small 'Rocky' reenactment
