[QUOTE="purplesage, post: 182360, member: 23606"] Hello Aine, I have walked the Camino in 2012 from Roncesvalles but am walking the bit from Ponferrada to Santiago in March this year with my partner. The first time was on my own and I cannot find the right words to tell anyone, let alone myself, what I experienced. From bitter anger to absolute joy: angry when the walking got tough. For me, the Ponferrada to Santiago bit was like preparing for the Big day but what happened on the way, is as it is for everyone, in different forms. I had some great spiritual experiences. Get used to a really good pair of boots; they are going to be your best friends and the best thing you'd do for yourself. And walk at your own pace: you will notice you CAN make stops along the way when you get worn out. its not about winning a race. I didn't walk the tough O'Ceraborio bit: I had a bd case if siatic nerves on my right leg and had to be sent by a van carrying luggage. But the town is beautful and in the morning, the views are divine. Buen Camino purplesage [/QUOTE]
