I have just completed my Camino, arriving in Santiago on Good Friday. I then flew to Stanstead on Sunday morning.
I just wanted to take this oppertunity to thank all on this forum and especially those who helpd with the questions that I had over the last few months.
I had a life changing experience and am still trying to sort it all out in my head. I met fascinating people and became closer to a friend I walked with. It was a once in a lifetime experience that, while I may repeat, will never be the same a second time.
My bit of advice to others would be to take as little as possible. I am a keen photographer and I took two cameras, a 35mm and a digital, big mistake, I ended up only using the digital.
Also, choose an 'off peak' time - Holy week gets crowded with people. Don't necessarily use the refugios that are listed in the guide book, offset your days and you wont bump into as many people.
But above all, keep your eyes, ears and heart open, and wait and see what happens,
Once again, thanks to you all,
Hanleyman
