Sunday 5th of November:After the Sunday mass, meeting again with friends we had encountered. Ray and Elise from Australia, Paul and his wife Dianne, also from Australia, plus Heinrich and Iris from Germany. We had promised to meet this day and share lunch, which we did together at the famous Casa Manolo, a popular eating place for pilgrims. It was a long lunch, with a little more wine than we had planned due both to Pete's generosity and the fact that Paul, we discovered, despite his girth, didn't really drink - too late!!
A bit of animation after a long lunch and some good reds. Leaving the restaurant, no one seemed to be able to say goodbye, so we ended up at an outside cafe drinking a couple of cleansing ales. It seemed we were all a little hesitant to part, as we knew that this moment would officially end the experience of the Camino. Iris had seen off Heinrich after lunch, so perhaps she was looking for some company too. Whatever, the conversation was most enjoyable and the company most agreeable.
