[QUOTE="Blaster, post: 420475, member: 53779"] Jen G'day from the Blue Mountains. We are jealous and excited for you. You will have a life changing experience and will learn a lot about yourself. It may help to know that if you are scared or anxious, that is great and remember, everyone else is. We found we cried and laughed, shed kilos (twice at a post office), learnt how to live more simply and loved the decluttering aspect for the first time in our lives that leaves more room for a filling of the soul if appropriate to you. It seemed to work for us that the first third was for the body and we got fitter, the second for the mind and we settled down and the third was for the soul...it was hard and we had to listen to our bodies and stop and sort out issues such as hotspots as soon as they started. Everyone we know had a "breakdown" where things got too much and we had a "why are we doing" this moment and pushing through that with fantastic help and love from like minded, mixed nationality, brother and sister pilgrims forged us a little more in the fire of the walk. You will make some friends you will keep for the rest of your life! It was good to always keep our main goal in mind but be flexible in our thinking and we accepted that if we had to send our packs ahead or take a bus etc, we would - that was a comfort and we never actually needed it. There are many Aussies on the Way now, several from our group up here. Buen Camino mate! [/QUOTE]
