Margery finds herself without funds to be able to make another voyage for her pilgramage to Santiago in Spain as she had given all her money away to others during her journey. She eventually prays to God to help her in her time of need which then many people begin to give her money. Some gave money in request she pray for them in Santiago. This sort of prayer which is intercessory prayer is an important part of the Catholic faith and is the same time of request Catholics make to the Virgin Mary and saints, requesting they pray for them in heaven to God.  People, like Margey’s friend, give her money for her voyage as they have a genuine belief that Margery’s intercessory prayer in a holy site like Santiago has a genuine benefit to the spiritual well being of their soul.

Eventually Margery obtains enough funds to beging her journey to Bristol, from which she would then travel to Santiago. She has heard that the rode from King’s Lynn to Bristol is filled with thieves that could rob her, but she is assured by God she will be safe. Eventually she arrives in Bristol where she again greets the man with the hunchback who traveled with her to Rome, where she pays him back for his help just as she had promised back in Rome.

Margery ends up waiting 6 weeks in Bristol for a ship because the king had requisitioned all of them.  It seems the harbor in Bristol is a common location for routine ships between Santiago, or at least Spain, and England, hence why Margery already knows about it. It also seems to be the major port in the area, since all other ports have no ships available to the point many pilgrims end up preferring to return to Bristol to wait for a ship to Santiago.

While in Bristol she continues to recieve communion and attend mass, where her weeping is again ridiculed by others around her, in return she prays to God for Him to forgive them. She again weeps for God during the procession in the town, and whilst again some were annoyed, others were astonished by her and end up inviting her to eat and drink with them, as well as to talk about God. Again as before, some of those people pay her to pray for them in Santiago.

Eventually a ship from Britanny arrives in Bristol but she is prevented from boarding due to a rich man who refuses her entry due to his dislike for her. She is eventually summonded by the Bishop of Worcester who does not reprimand her as many others have done but instead praises her and even asks her to pray for him as well. This is most suprising since many times people were angry with her display of piety, maybe because many expected women to be silent in public regarding to religious matters, but the Bishop himself respects her and asks for her prayers. He gives her gold, an escort, and blessings for her journey, and eventually she boards a ship for Santiago.

According to Margery the weather and wind were preferable for sailing and the journey finished in 7 days, so I would assume 6-7 days would be the usual time it takes for a ship to go from Bristol to Santiago.

When she arrives in Santiago, she finds that many who were cruel to her in Bristol were kinder to her now. In Santiago she prays, eventually returning to Bristol with her companions.
