The rain let up after a short while and a slowing grey lifted and a faint light of the day introduced its self. We had a full day ahead of us as we had a 28-30km ahead . Around 1300 we stopped for some sandwiches and yet another coffee when we heard a strange sound, it was that of a heavy downpour and pilgrims heading for cover. Pablo and I looked at one another and thought it be good to extend our afternoon break with a piece of cake and espresso before reintroducing ourselves to the camino. The remainder of the day was spent heading toward the aeroporto in the outskirts of Santiago. We headed an additional 3 km west to a small village where we had an actual room at a pension. We cleaned up and returned to the aeroporto to await the arriv of David who was flying in from Seattle to also join Pablo on his final arrival into Santiago tomorrow morning.A quicker return by taxi to the pension and join other peregrinos in a local dinner of croquettes patatas and pork with more patatas. Now it's off to sleep for the three of us to climb a local hill for sunrise to witness the cathedral of Santiago before making the final 10km ascent.
