Arrival in Spain
Getting to Spain was a little bit hectic. We arrived, finally at Frankfurt after hours of flying - only to discover that we had a hour and half trip to Frankfurt-Hahn, from where our flight to Santander in Spain took off from. (Yes, Jono - you did warn!!).
So we found a hotel in Frankfurt-Hahn, took a bus there and stayed the night. This was a tiny little hamlet, that used to be an old airbase, converted now into a mini-airport. So we had a taste of Germany.
View to the right of our pension - market (mercado) below us.We arrived yesterday safely in Santander. Found a gorgeous little pension, 3 floors up. Lovely friendly people.
Rod´s socks drying - market below.Today we spent preparing for our trip. Posting our extra goods off to Gijon, buying a camera (another story - do not ask!!!), going to albergue to ask questions, et al.
We visited a lovely catherdal, where a lovely guide, Fernando took us on a tour. It was his first on the job, with the challenge of speaking English, which he did brilliantly.
Tomorrow we are finally off on our pilgrimage.
