Caceres , via Madrid & Home.

Not much to report from the Pelegrinos, apart from the unlikely phenomena of some rainfall.

I had a positive report from the hospital, after today’s blood test, that the Platelets were on the up; so just keep self- injecting …..left side tomorrow!

Caceres is one of those Spanish ” Secrets ” – we were there not many years ago- wonderful Square , where the Tapas still came free with a glass of wine .

Wednesday 21st May

E-mail from Derm:-

Attached photo Roger enjoying free tapas with vino blanco.
I asked the waiter if he knew you and he said, “Si señor! I remembre Señor Twort very well. He eat MANY tapas here!”
Thanks for your help in making this trip possible John.
Hasta luego,
Derm

They have to take the train from Caceres to Madrid’s Atocha Station, then Metro to the Airport – Quite a tiring journey in prospect.
Hope it goes smoothly.

I am sure that in retrospect, both will empathise with the poster, below.

Ps from Roger:-
In Spain the rain mainly falls upon the plain!

Hola John!
We landed safely at Stansted.
Long queue through Border (No) Control.

( So pleased that everything worked out as well as it did- blisters apart – time now to reflect upon the Caminho and , of course, regale everyone with the stories… )

Further E-mail from Dermot, this time from Epping.

Caceres Police !

“The one on the right is a possible psychopath.
The one on the left is violent and extremely dangerous.
Both individuals have been overheard shouting “One way! One way!” in Spanish at unsuspecting coach drivers.
[De ida! De ida!]”
