Best wishes to Ivar and to all of us who have found this forum to be such a wonderful resource and a source of practical help and a supportive shoulder to lean on - not only in this COVID year, but for many years.

My thoughts are with so many individuals on this forum who have been both a help and a solace to me over the years as I trudged paths both physical and mental in my travels and searches along the pilgrim ways of Europe and Israel.

COVID and lockdowns in Melbourne have not been all negative for me in 2020. I have learnt how to cut my own hair: very short, like shearing a sheep. 👨‍🦲🐏. I have discovered that there are actually enjoyable walks to be done in my home state of Victoria.🚶‍♂️ 🐦🦘🐧. My pantry is stacked to the ceiling with toilet paper and canned food to last a year,🍸🍾 so I can hunker down for a year and see COVID off. What's not to like?

Anyway, take care everyone and let's hope for a better 2021.

Yes, best wishes to all on this forum and especially to Ivar for providing the platform. I'm from regional Victoria, so the lockdown wasn't as severe for me, but the forum has brought back many pleasant memory's of my times spent in Europe and my heart goes out to those that are going through tough times. Hopefully 2021 will be a much better year and we can all get back to some sort of normal.

Dumb as it might seem, it's only recently sunk in that a good deal of some camino routes might be on vehicular roads rather than walking trails. I don't really mean the town and village-y bit...
