I made scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning and didn't smoke the place out. The man who made my coffee had a big grey coiffure. I think he blow dries it. I left my Pilgrim credential with all my stamps in it on the counter and about 20 minutes later, coiffure man drives up beside me in his car and beeps the horn. It's not the first time this has happened. Last time, it was with a pair of ballet slippers i was trying to get rid of but my point is that...

I have a feeling Galicia is going to be very beautiful but a lot of seagulls trying to rip off pilgrims because this is where most people start their pilgrimage.

I had a crap sleep due to the slats that were digging into my spine through the thinnest mattress on earth. I've been eating bread with jam or croissants and coffee for breakfast for the last few weeks and i want eggs, so i decide to cook breakfast, and there ends up being 4 of us eating. I cook poached eggs, tomatoes, spinach and toast. Caroline's breakfast come off a treat. Because there's no toaster, i am cooking the bread on the hot plates. By this stage...
