Pilgrim's Passport/Credential

Well I got my Cathedral stamp, from the bookshop. They were really helpful and interested and remembered stamping Terry's credential last year. I bought an Exeter Cathedral sticker badge to go alongside the stamp rather than the cloth one like Terry has sewn on his rucksack.
We both have the (blue) Camino Forum and (red) Camino de Santiago/Camino de Europa badges on our packs and a small cockle shell on our hats. Our packing is done and our new Crocs have arrived in the post. They are rest day and after the day's walk footwear.
Off for a very short walk before it rains, without our packs today as we are calling it a rest day. Last, not very long, walk with packs tomorrow weather permitting. We don't mind getting wet on the Camino but would rather keep dry before we set off.

Exeter to Santander

Exeter today - and Valerie hopes to get a stamp from the Cathedral in her Credential (Pilgrim's Passport). Then back home, it is en route, before catching the ferry from Plymouth to Santander. Terry intends to ask for a new Credential in Oviedo and start stamping it from there having started in Exeter last year.
