⭐️ Highlights of the Day: it was sunny in Madrid at the train station and I got to sit for 10 mins in the sun before catching another train. Getting the pilgrims passport sorted and organising breakfast tomorrow. Finally reaching Ferrol!
⛰️ Challenges Faced: not printing my boarding pass, thinking I wouldn’t be able to get on the flight as I checked in so late. Paying extra for tickets to the city centre. Not booking the trains in advance. Having to pay for another flight…. And a taxi! It was never ending! Plus it’s raining and it looks like it’s going to rain for the next week!
✍️ Reflections / Pilgrim Thoughts: lots of easily available mistakes made…. Lessons have been learned! At least we are here - Ready for the Camino to begin tomorrow!
