    Day 1 Tues May14. Muxia/Finisterre SdC to Negreira 21ks We were off to a reasonable start but then, soon after our first break at Quintans about 12ks into the stage, disaster struck. Ngaire stepped into a missing paver hole on a foot path, tripped and the weight of her pack forced a heavy...

    Day 16 May12 to SdC 9.6ks. Easy very relaxing walk to our destination. One coffee break leaving 6ks to go. Young Latin American guy on his first Camino. On crutches with titanium hip, had done 30ks a day. Told him how special he will find arriving. He said he will cry! Santiago de Compostela 4...

    Day 15 May 11 Padron to Picarana 10ks. No rush getting away mid morning with most on the trail ahead of us. Weather as per most of the past week, perfect. Caught up once again with some old 'Camino defined' friends who turned up most unexpectedly. They are never far removed. Had a long break...

    Day 14 May10 Caldas de Reis to Padron 19ks. Beautiful morning saw us off to a good start with 6.5 ks seeming to take no time before our first break. We were just ahead of the wave until then so coffee and other necessities no problem. The stage was easy, arriving in Padron just shy of 1400...

    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Sanabrés

    The eucalyptus dispersed through these parts brings a little taste of Australia to Portugal and Spain. Those messy one's Chrissy are a 'stringy bark', aptly named for the mess they leave.

    Day 13 May 9 Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis 22ks. How time and distance sneaks up. The realisation of that special moment when entering the Cathedral arena is but a stones throw away! Bought home more by the hussle and bussel of throngs of excited pilgrams most of who's expectation of the arrival...

    Day 12 May 8 O Porrino to Pontevedra 17ks. After a rest day 2 stages back you think you've seen the last of those you have made friends with but some of those have had a rest day also and 'bingo', out of the blue', they pop up. So along with new friends made after the rest day, your circle is...

    Day 11 O Porrino to Cercantes 19ks After a short lived misty start the day turned to blue skies and warm sunshine. The stage was mostly pavement with some challenging gradients. With only 80ks to Santiago there is a high volume of pilgrams with some large tour groups. The anticipation of our...

    Day 10 Monday May 6 Valenca to O'Porrino 19ks. No rain, heavy fog. After the rest day with leaving Portugal behind and entering Spain seemed like the start of a Camino within a Camino. The walk out through the tunnels of Fortaleza de Valenca with the heavy fog was a unique experience. Once on...

    Day 9 Sunday May 5 rest day in Valenca. Sleep in was great. Up late morning, gathered our laundry and headed off out of the fort, where our accommodation was located, for a 15 min walk back into the ' new city' to do our washing, have lunch and replenish our supermarket supplies. Quiet afternoon...

    The Camino will provide?

    I agree to what you are saying in regards to being responsible for yourself. There is a side to the Camino providing that excludes human intervention. We are on our third Camino and there has been a consistency of 'events' or incidents occurring when you need them most. Examples are far to...

    Day 8 Rubias to Valenca 17ks. First, a big thumbs up to Sonia at Casa Sao Sabastio for her efforts in assisting in getting our gear as dry as possible as well as for all who arrived soaked coming down from the top of the mountain. The washer and dryer worked overtime. Another wet start but with...
