Camino Tour 2015 Update No. 4 Travel to Sarri

We woke at 3am to be picked up at 3.45 by our transfer company.  It was not as bad as it seemed actually as I had been waking early each day anyway and trying to go back to sleep.  Not sure everyone else on the tour had the same feeling about it.

Anyway we were transferred to the massive Barcelona airport and jumped onto a 6am fight to Santiago de Compostela.

It was amazing to see Spain from the air.  The countryside changes from flat and brown to green and mountainous as you move north-west across the Iberian peninsula.

Santiago airport was much bigger than I anticipated.  I expected one the size of a regional Australian airport but instead it was massive.  I suppose on reflection it is an international hub as well.

We grabbed our transfer bus and headed out to Sarria.  Of course everyone had to stop on the way for water so the driver graciously pulled up at a dodgy roadhouse for us.  Kid loved it.

Our hotel was finally found after a couple of hours on the bus and we settled into quite nice digs.

We want for a wander through the beautiful old town and lots of us bought our walking sticks for the journey.

The adventure continues tomorrow as we set off on foot.

Buen Camino Peregrinos!
