- Time of past OR future Camino
- one too many
Hi pilgrims , last year i had some spare days and i walked from Irun to Santander , so my plan for this year was to start in Bilbao and walk to Santiago in 24 days . It turned out that i can squeeze 4 more days and take 30 days of paid leave so it makes it 28 days of walking if i want to walk ..... So I thought that I could start in Garetaia or Deba and make more friends (yes I enjoy the social part of camino ). I think it is quite doable. I am prepared mentally and physically and I have all the lightweight equipment that I need . The problem is that I am catching myself daydreaming/planning to complete AGAIN Camino Franses ... Why is this route pulling me all over again ? I completed it 3 times already, once from SJPP and 2 times starting from Pamplona and I can say that every time it was special . Am I in the comfort zone of completing CF all over again instead of walking the unknown ? Do you felt the same or do you had the same impulse ? I walked from Porto 3 times and i was ok in 2021 i walked the Primitivo and it was really special because of the scenery and the people that i have met , nevertheless when i walked del Norte being surrounded by majority of the people who just like me were walking Camino for the second + time i thought- well this is the real camino , this is the way i wanted it to be . So oldtimers ... Can you share some wisdom with me please
