Grace is leaving Melbourne May 26 to walk the Via de la Plat

[gracethepilgrim]

Hi fellow pilgrims and friends,

I walked the Camino Frances in 2003 and will walk the Camino again, this time from Sevilla to Santiago! My journey should start around the 2nd June so I hope to see other pilgrims (at least 1) on my way.
I am not sure that it is the wisest of moves but I am game for an adventure.

I will attend the Pilgrim meeting in Paris on my way (Friday 30th May) to get back into the 'feel' of being a pilgrim!!

Cheers all,
Grace

The Via de la Plata is a very rewarding route - I am certain you will discover this is one of the wisest decisions you will ever make!

Buen Camino

John

Thanks John,
I needed a vote of confidencs as I head off with a little bit of trepidation. I hope it is not going to be too hot although we have had an Indian Summer in Melbourne so I am used to the heat.

Cheers,
Grace

Hello Grace

Hope you get this before you leave - Just to wish you all the best on the Via d/l Plata next month - I was on it (from Salamanca and Sanabria) in Oct 06 and really enjoyed it , especially the hilly bits in Galicia- I met a French couple in Vilar de Barrio (a village in Galicia) who had started in Sevilla and had been on the VP for nearly 6 weeks already when we met; they were very positive about it - altho' did say it was very hot some days - so I guess it's advisable to 'slip, slap and slop' (slip on a shirt. slap on a hat and slop on some 30+spf sunscreen, for non-ozzies who might be reading this) 8)

When you get to Cea the detour to the monasterio at Oseira is well-worth it! (they make and sell some great chocolate!)

happy trails and a very BUEN CAMINO

Peter
