Day one a bit long for the aclimatising stage. Exhausting but rewarding. First time I've been checked into an albergue by a man with a gun (he was very helpful) blog at breakfastprowl.blogspot.co.uk
Trains and planes have got me here; enjoyed looking round the city and train station tiling. Credentials stamped at the cathedral, first video posted on YouTube. Time to get some sleep I guess.
Didn't manage to find the time last autumn but all booked up to start the Levante in a couple of weeks. Planning to flood YouTube with short video blogs again as well
Last year I walked from England to Astorga and then followed the Plata south to Seville. On the way I met several people who had walked the Levante; they gave good reports. I plan to fly to Valencia in late September. Anyone else planning to walk at that time?
Thanks for all the comments on...
I was unable to get onto this site for some time and so stopped posting. The good news is that I completed my 2,000 walk in November 2014. I met several people on the way who had walked the Levante and, once my daughter is safely married, I plan to check out that Camino in late September.
Week five finds me only a little south of Paris; the contrast between the English sun of the first 18 days and the rain in France now quite remarkable. I must not exaggerate however, most of yesterday was quite pleasant. Now heading towards Orleans.
