21/10 rest day in Santiago

I slept in a little & hung out waited on reception to ask about laundry but had no luck. 

09:00 took off in tights!! (Everything else was wet & smelled bad.) to attend cathedral mass. 

09:30 Despite being in Spanish, the priest reached out. A religious sister presented the mass & had a majestic voice. No boto profumo. :(

10:30 Pilgrim Mass: this was a bit holdy hands sit on a circle, but I suppose it went towards creating a pilgrim network vibe in English. The volunteers are a nice & inclusive group of people. 

Afterwards, i went to another local church Cathedral San Francisco. I was keen to attend here because Saint Francis is my favorite due to his love & kindness towards animals. St. Francis walked the Camino Frances in 1412?

Hungry, i got a heap of groceries: 2x bananas, tomato, grapes, pastor & baguette for €4! Got money from the bank there - turning my phone off first.

 Back at the Albo I ate & did laundry.

I queried early flights & basically I would pay 1.5x what I paid to get here. Thanks Booking.com.

So i hopped into Plan B & bought a bus ticket to Oporto on ALSA. Later i reserved a bed at Oporto. 

Meanwhile its raining solidly here, I hope Oporto will be better being further from Gallicia. 20 days to go. 

I will get in the groove on the Central Camino, but I do wonder how Aussies manage their flight arrangements. I guess if I was less generous, I wouldn't have so long to lollygag.
