There is always a lot of travelling to do before you can start your walk on Camino, originally I would have set off from home to a port and from there sailed to Ferrol or a Coruna but in this age I got up at 5 in the morning for the drive down to the airport with a quick stop at McDonald's for breakfast.
There was a bit of excitement/concern when the bus from the airport car park to the airport broke down but after 15 minutes of the driver trying to coax the juddering bus back on the road we were on our way again.
After going through security we bought Boots sarnies and then boarded our 'plane.
We had a couple of hours wait at Santiago bus station for our bus to Ferrol and so went and found a bar where I enjoyed my first Cola Cau of this Camino!
The bus arrived just in time for us to get to the Tourist Information centre and get our first sello and then we set off to find our hotel finding ourselves in the company of seven American ladies who had been on the same bus as us and were staying in the same hotel. They though had had a much longer journey to get to Ferrol and so would not start walking until the day after us.
Having dumped our bags in our room we decide to walk down to the front and follow the Camino back towards our hotel so that we would not walk that section again in the morning. Walking down Ferrol's streets we had the thrumming of a drum and happened to come across an Easter parade which we watched for about fourty minutes.
We hurried to the front before it became too dark and posed for photos at the Camino's start before heading back to our hotel, stopping to buy some chips from a kebab shop on the way.
