Just returned from 3 weeks on the Camino Frances and it feels like I never left my house...

I look at the pictures my friends are uploading on facebook and think that I must have seen that too...

But I don't remember...

While I was there it felt as if I had no other life and as if I had never been anywhere else...

There were so many ants on the trail, walking single file carrying their burdens...

Sometimes I wondered what the camino would look like from outer space...

On monday i go back to work...
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

It's reasonable to assume that many Camino walkers had similar experiences. I for one did, which is why I will start (once again) the CF in a few months time and go all the way....
 
Hope you had a great Camino Pieces.

On return from my last Camino I realised that I'd forgotten to put an old bottle of milk in the outside bin, and I think it had festered to the point of explosion while I was away. It didn't smell nice, but at least I knew I was back home. :D

Buen Camino!

You should have seen the wilderness of my Central American garden when I returned last time :lol: It certainly was "back to work on Monday" :|
 
Back to work blues!! I know the feeling, it's been a year since my 1st Camino but I have had daily flash backs ever since. I heard before that the Camino can be addictive and I thought how could walking 100s of Km be addictive? But here I am planning my 2nd Camino :lol:

I hope your camino was excellent in every where. The juxtaposition you highlight shows how bizarre our "normal" daily routine actually is, how weird our humdrum montone existance is compared to the multicoloured variety that we can otherwise experience on the camino as we get back in touch with nature and ourselves.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Round the corner and up the hill from the Pilgrims Office in Santiago, about 50m away, is the Faculty of Medicine's huge cafeteria that must be able to seat between 200 and 300 people. They have a...
Well sorry for the long absence! I dropped offline and into Camino life and can't wait to go back (but unfortunately it won't be soon)! I won't say the Camino was an easy experience for me, or...
Hi all. I’m sitting in the sun on this spectacular day in the Pyrenees at the statue of Mary and Jesus. A glorious day. Thank you to all the weather Gods. Perhaps June / July are the best walking...
Hi all. I will be walking the Camino Frances in September ( I started in Le Puy in 2022 and will “finish” this year!) and hope to stay at the ALBERGUE Peregrinos Ribadiso around September 21. I’m...
Just got to Rabanal. Started May 20. It is not crowded. No traffic jams or conga lines. But I’m not here to argue about “crowd” hysteria—I’ve done that enough over the last few years and likely...
If you take the route to Ventosa after Navarette there is a brand new bar/cafe I highly recommend. They've been open 4 days as of today June 12 . A local bee keeper started it and it is great...
