Santiago de Compestelo-we made it!

Yes the pilgrimage is complete. Brad and I rolled up to the Dean's office at the Catedral in the early afternoon after a fairly hot and arduous trek into the city. We presented our Credencial del Peregrino for signing  by the Dean and after testifying we had walked the last 100 km it was received and our certificate was presented.  Our names are recorded in Latin on our certificates-something for the brag book!
Tomorrow New Zealand will be called in the roll of honour at the Pilgrim's mass which is part of the ritual of the event. Every country whose citizens have completed the pilgrimage the previous day are read out during the mass.
What a place. The catedral is so impressive,towering over the surrounding quintana,is the Entrance of Glory, a monument to St James created by Master Mateo- this is indeed  a moment to saviour. It takes your breath away the scale and beauty of the facade. When you walk so far you are thankful to arrive safe and in good spirits and to then to see the magnificence of the place you understand the  rest.
