A truly amazing journey!

[bms1970]

Myself,my daughter and my friend completed our Camino from Sarria on Sunday 27th May.Thanks to all on the forum for help with planning and answering questions. It was somewhat tougher than I thought it would be on a physical level and my walking companions deserve much credit for their many kindnesses. That said it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
I learnt to appreciate water to drink, shade from a bush or cloud, the warmth of the sun and also the feel of the rain, the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature, the power of prayer and being able to think and reflect as I walked.
I have updated our blog with the June entries which describe our journey.

Thanks to all and for those of you with your Camino still in front of you Buen Camino!

Well done, to you and your peregrina amigos! The section from Sarria is quite arduous, even if there aren't any mountains to climb, most of it is a roller-coaster of up hills and down to rivers, then up again and down again! You did really well and are rightly proud of your achievement.
I'm looking forward to reading your blog because I'll be leading a group of not-so-able pilgrims on the last 100km next year and I'm sure it will help to read about the difficult places and the challenges you faced. Thanks for sharing.
