We made it! The last bit for everyday is always hard. The last bit to the cathedral is no exception. We hit city streets about 7 km away. Naturally you feel you are close but that is still hour and a half away at best. The route leads you through city streets and then villages, detours to go under freeways, etc. It does feel like it's going on and on. Of course, we made it at the end and there is happiness and a sense of accomplishment, not emotional like the completion of our first Camino but satisfying.
We are also happy that everything has gone according to plan. There are feet troubles but we trudged through. Isn't that the Camino spirit?
We have been worrying about the crowd arriving every day overwhelming the Pilgrim's Office, thus a possibility of delay in getting the certificates. It turned out that pre-registering online helps a lot. Also we registered as a group. When we got there, we were sent downstairs to a different section handling groups. There was no lineup and we received our certificates immediately, all pre-printed with our particulars. Super efficient.
