Two Italians we met in Santo Domingo, they were known as the snorers (including my Dad) and were sent to a separate room upstairs in the hostel where they would not disturb the others. Trouble is I had to go as well!

El Camino de Santiago

Manuel (owner of Elizabeth's Restaurant) and his son Sebastian, are going on a 500 mile pilgrimage walk to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain. They will start from a town near the French border called Roncesvalles (near Pamplona) in the summer of 2010 and walk to Santiago in various stages, staying in hostels along the way. It is estimated to take about a month and they will hopefully reach their destination before 25 July 2010 (Feast of St James). Thousands of people will visit Santiago on this day as it is a Jacobean Holy Year (Ano Santo Jacobeo) and the Pope is also expected to visit. Manuel and Sebastian are raising money for 2 charities: Friends of the Wisdom Hospice in Rochester ( www.justgiving.com/elcamino-hospice ) and The Royal Masonic Trust for Girls and Boys ( www.justgiving.com/elcamino-trust ). You can support them by visiting these websites. Thank you.

When we stopped to rest, this group of gypsies came over and started singing and playing the guitar. I think my Dad enjoyed it!
