Waiting for the ferry

I arrived safe in Santander last night and spent the night in the local albergue. There is another camino that passes through here along the northern coast "Camino del NortĂȘ", for a brief moment I thought I may start from here and head back to Santiago. It was only a brief moment and soon passed!

My ferry is not until 15:00 tomorrow (Thursday) They kick you out of the albergue by 08:00 so I need to entertain myself until 16:00 when I can check in again for the last night. I have looked at posher accommodation for the night but cheapest is about 50 euros and I am a poor pilgrim after all.
I have found a left luggage box at the bus station so I don't have to carry my backpack around all day. So I am sitting at a table in the bus station eating a chocolate croissant and drinking cafe con leche while writing my blog on the free wee-fee.
Not sure what to do today? A bit of sight-seeing, lie in the park, eat some good food to put some weight back on? Who knows- as they say here; the world is your lobster!

Enjoy your days, see you soon.
