We went to the midday Pilgrim´s mass in the cathedral. It was very moving. A nun with the voice of an angel sang, the priest was warm and moving, altho we only caught fragments of the address, where he spoke about pilgrims coming from far away places. The cathedral was full - said to be 800 capacity. This must be for every day in the high season. We were moved too to meet many of our fellow pilgrims whom we had met along the way. Not a lot to say in words, because of our different languages and backgrounds, but still an unspoken bond between us.
The next day we had recovery day and walked around the shops and the pilgrim museum.
And the next day we caught the bus to Bilboa for a few days before we return to Australia. It has been a little hard to change our days and ways of thinking, but we hope the experience will stay with us.
