It’s 5 am and today is the day we fly to Paris! But not until 11:25 pm, it’s going to be long day! I am off into the city to get my backpack looked at again. And I also have to go into the bank to put money on my travel card. Because I use it so seldom I have forgotten my username/password combination, and really, who writes these things down? I had intended to go to the bank on Friday but even though I knew it was Easter, I hadn’t actually linked that with not being able to go to the bank! I tried the 24/7 travel card line, listened to all the options, pressed all the numbers , omg what a performance that is, then due to RSI from all the options, mustn’t have pressed hard enough and the electronic voice said  “I’m sorry, we could  not process that, goodbye!” And disconnected!!!

I will miss this living art from my dining room window

But I’m looking forward to the pilgrim life with nothing to worry about except putting on my backpack, picking up my sticks and getting to the next albergue!
