Camino 2013 - Day 30 - 23 December 2013

After a very nice breakfast in Salceda where once again it was only the 4 of us in a room we set of in the rain for Monte Gozo just 4km outside Santiago. First it was along a main road but then back on the pilgrims trail through oak forest on winding trails. The uphill and downhill just never stopped and I am starting to feel that my energy reserves have been used up. The weather was not kind today and has been overcast with occasional showers and is now blowing an absolute gale! With Christmas only two days away there is not a bar or restaurant open. When we arrived at the Monte Gozo albergue we were the only 4 booked into accommodation for 400. Because everything is closed the hospitalero drove us into town to the supermarket to buy some food for dinner and breakfast. It was bedlam in Santiago with Christmas shopping and I was happy to back in the albergue. The final little walk tomorrow.
