Donna, good advice regarding the umbrella and hydration. We use one here in NZ due to the harsh sun. You certainly went from ine extreme to another shifting from Dunedin to Darwin 🌞
Hi Bwarenz
Having spent a few years travelling around Europe and Turkey during hot summers, I know air conditioning is sometimes needed for a good night's sleep, and it helped us with heat exhaustion. I look forward to reading about your upcoming Camino.
Buen Camino
I am in the same "boat". A husband that had a bone marrow transplant with ongoing issues and an elderly mother are two things that have created the need to pick the best time. I am patient.
Thanks for being honest, April. Firstly, congratulations on completing a Camino. I haven't done one yet though I am a seasoned traveller. I may not be able to do one due to circumstances out of my control though I will enjoy the long walks I intend to keep doing until the time is right. Best...
It is lovely to see photographs of your bike ride. Some days I find it hard to make the decision whether to bike or walk. Though the wind sometimes makes that decision for me. 50 miles was a long way!
What a lovely man to have acknowledged his delight at your achievement. Maybe we all should pat each other on the back more often. I have done the same to a stranger, I think it's a win-win situation :-)
