Funnily enough I was just trying to post my departure date on the calendar and followed Ivars instructions to the letter. Never intended to do a proper post!

Mayhem and Misbehaviour....On the Meseta.
It got pulled almost immediately due to a complaint about a phrase I used. And I got a warning for being naughty. That's ok. Gotta have boundaries pitched somewhere. I conversationed it to you.

Bom Caminho Gerard!
Thanks Mike, and William, C clearly, JMac56, wayfarer.

Bom Caminho to you Gerard!
:DPlease let us know how it went.
Will do! Thanks.

Bom Caminho Gerard, have a wonderful walk, I have driven this route a few time and it is beautiful as are both Lisbon and Porto, my favourite place is a little village called Oia, north of A Guarda, great restaurant just as you enter the village looking over the Atlantic and the old monastery. Raise a glass for us if you stop there.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

I will mate. Thanks for the tip. Lisbon looks like it will need 2 or three days.
Whatever, I've got plenty of time this year so will just saunter along, probly pop over to Fatima, and any anywhere else off Camino, like those big surf breaks, that takes my fancy.
Regards
Gerard

walking every day for the rest of my life
What a good reason for us to not be walking! Could you send me your Pulled Piece too please? Will keep me going until you start your Portuguese Ponderings.
(I too had a wee telling off once for poor choice of words - I share your sentiments)

Bom dia Gerard,
I spent a week in Lisboa after last year's Camino Francés. It is a wonderful place! (Just ignore all the drug pushers in the tourist areas.) I will definitely be back, maybe to start a Caminho from there?
Bom Caminho,
John.

When do you expect to be in Santiago?
Hey DP,
Towards the end of April. I'm in Europe til mid June at least, maybe later, so will just saunter along as the spirit moves me. No deadlines.
The only other thing I am positively doing is the route that Chaucer's pilgrims took over the South Downs, from Southwark Cathedral in London down to Canterbury Cathedral. Looks like 4 or 5 days. I'll just wander along stopping at country pubs. Just waiting on a new edition of the guide book to arrive. I have a niece in Brighton and she's invited me to stay after I complete that.
Regards
Gerard

Thanks Gerard. I am planning to be in Santiago towards the end of April also. I'll try to PM you when I get close. Maybe we can meet for a beverage.
