Tamborine to Santiago via Camino Frances

[marbuck]

We started our blog when we began training for the Camino on the 1st December 2013. We fly to Paris in three days’ time and will spend two weeks travelling in France waiting for our Camino companion to join us in St Jean. We plan to update the blog regularly as we walk to Santiago.

If you are able to walk those distances with your packs you will have no trouble starting from St Jean, just take it nice and easy, its not as difficult or daunting as it sounds. You have two choices from St Jean, the Valcarlos route which is very beautiful or the Napoleon which is a bit harder and also very beautiful. I have not done the Napoleon yet but hope to do so on the 24th of April.
Go safely and Buen Camino.

Hi Wayfarer & marbuck,

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you

A classic song for a classic way.

Buen Camino to you both..............Keith.

I've read your blog and can tell you are more than ready - just make sure you park the car frequently during those two weeks travelling in France. Besides, France is a wonderful place in which to walk and you'll see much more interesting stuff on foot than in the car!

Hi Wayfarer & Marbuck . I'll be very interested in your blog becauseI believe I will be only a few days behind you. I'm leaving StJean on the 25th. April. My guts are churning over just now because the longest single day walk I have done amounts to 10.3 miles carrying a backpack weighing 15lbs. Here's hoping!!

We may even see you on the track somewhere, if you see us say hello. Be nice to meet a fellow Forum member.

The 25th April is our Anzac Day in Australia, a good day to start your Camino. We hope to update the Blog often so hope you can continue to read it. Hopefully we will meet on the Camino.

Hi Kanga. Thanks for your words of encouragement. We have trained really hard for this walk. But as I have found out in Nepal, nothing really prepares you for the real thing. We still expect to hurt for the first week. We are so excited, we leave tonight.

Hi there Marbuck(s).
All the best to you both. Just looked at your blog, and hope the pic taken with backpack was set up as it is definitely much more comfortable with the hip strap buckled up hugging it all to you to form one moving part.
Buen Camino. Have fun in Paris on the way.
Annie

Have a wonderful, wonderful time. Once you are on that plane - soar!
