4.5 hours 20km: Caldas de Reis to Padron
Camino distances are best thought about in vague, general terms, and are to be taken with a grain of salt: much similar to the size of fish one has just caught, particularly if there is no (and sometimes flying in the face of) photographic evidence. Distances on the camino are measured by the number of kilometers one is away from Santiago. And given that there are many different paths to take, of varying lengths, sign posting is at best confusing and often contradictory. Regularly, we would hike for 45 minutes, only to find out that we were now further away from our destination than when we had started. Today it took us roughly 4 hours to hike from Caldas de Reis to Padron. How far did we go? We really don’t know. But we do know that it was roughly the same amount of time it took for our server to deliver lunch.
Regardless, by our calculations, we are now only one day away from Santiago. We are hoping that this last day will be as idyllic as the one we enjoyed today.

You only have one more day to go? I am going to miss your pictures, stories, wonderful commentary, and great sense of humor. Well done, you both.
