Nadine+Diary+Entry+3

Dear diary,

What a long day today was! After getting home at 1am this morning (due to our few to many alcoholic beverages last night) we had to wake up at 6am to be ready for our 7am tour bus to pick us up. Most of us slept on the bus on the way to the Cathedral (Plaza de Obradoiro). We arrived at 9.45am and had 15 minutes to relax before the Cathedral opened. During this time we met our tour guide and food and beverages were offered to us. Once we were allowed to enter the museum we were shown around and allowed the opportunity to ask any questions. The museum didn't shut until 1.30pm, so we had quite a good amount of time to do explore. We found out that St James' remains were buried in the museum in the 1st Century AD and rediscovered in 813, which was of great interest to myself. We lined up behind a number of people to kiss his statue, which sits behind the main alter. This was quite a different experience for me and I enjoyed every moment of it. We are now on the bus on our way back to the hotel and are planning to have a little rest before we hit the town tonight!

I will write again tomorrow, Nadine.
