Sleeping better, fewer issues with pain at night.
Spent morning relaxing at table drinking coffee. Had fruit for breakfast. Decided to wash a few things, so I stayed behind as Paulette headed into town to get her Internet fix. Took shower and then ate just before we headed out.
Today we went to the lighthouse. This is the starting point from Finisterre to Santiago de Compostela for peregrinos coming from coast. It is also the "end of the world" and ending point for many peregrinos coming through Santiago de Compostela.
It's about 3km from town up a gentle road, which has a pathway for peregrinos. It was a pretty walk, with a church and lots of water views.
About a third of the way there Paulette spotted something in water, dolphins. This area is known for the dolphin pods. We watched them for 15 min or so. They were slowly and gracefully swimming the coastline. We were up on the road, too far away for a photo. We saw them again on our way home.
Then we went back to apartment, ate, and rested. Then I headed for beach and Paulette to town (Internet). I sat at the beach watching 4 young girls dive into the surf and climb out again, over and over. They were having such fun, each was probably about 10 or 11. Very confident and comfortable in the water and crashing surf.
Met up with Paulette and wondered around town. Decided to get drink and snack. Paulette got cognac and pink scallops. I got their version of Mojito, which was simply Mojito rum, then Santiago cake with vanilla ice cream. Everything substantial on the menu was fish or extremely expensive. Number 1, I don't eat fish, Number 2, I don't spend 38€ on rice with veggies.
It was sufficient. We headed back and went to bed.
Tomorrowland we head back to Santiago de Compostela for 3 nights.
Another day done.
